Friday. Left at 10:30. Nikor. Cool but dry, with initially, and toward the end, some sun. Otherwise skies showing many shades of white and gray. Light to moderate breezes from the east. Straatweg to Maarssen, then ARK. Turning onto the dike, a beautiful mid-20th century barge on its way north. A right onto the Maarssenbroeksedijk, back to the Straatweg. From Breukelen, Vecht east side to Vreeland, then west side to Nigtevecht. Fruit still on the trees, but also on the ground, and for sale by the side of the road. Palmgrass thriving in many places, along with NIMBYism between Vreeland and Nichtevecht. Across the ARK (good, long views in both directions off the bicycle bridge), and toward Abcoude. Gein has mostly been left alone, and it was nice and quiet. Eendracht. Next the Winkeldijk. In itself, it's a fine little road, but headed west, there's just too much freeway and city interfering with the vistas. Things improved along the Waver, after Stokkelaarsbrug, and then past Botshol to Vinkeveen. Donkereind to Geerkade, Spengen, and Hollandse Kade. Houtdijkerpad to Houtdijk and Breudijk. Haarzuilens to Maximapark, Gele Brug; and home amid the school kids and other commuters.
