March 29, 2025

Left around 9:45. Blacksmith. Cool, partly cloudy, moderate breeze from the northwest. Daalsetunnel to Thomas a Kempisplantsoen. Old intersection gone, bike path runs straight to the light before the yellow bridge now. Goodbye diesel fumes and related filth. Progress. N will be spinning in his grave, but I like riding through the western suburbs. Hermelijnvlinderpad, then the Lint to the Alendorperweg, where you return a little to an earlier time there; you're in the park, and you're not. Out by way of Vleuterweide (Stroomrugbaan) to Rivierpad. Geese with chicks in the meadow at Kasteel de Ham, later storks on the nest. Sun on yellow reeds along a small canal curving to the right. Breudijk to Gerverskop. Koot on a nest, little lambs in a small field by one of the farms. Schutterskade to Galgerwaard (finally locating Vinkeveen's church). Breukelen, Gunterstein, Veenkade. Then almost all of Gageldijk to Ruygenhoek, the last bit "new road!" Everything's normal, as long as you don't read the news.
