Saturday. Left around 10:30. Blacksmith. Mild, light winds out of the southeast, some vague white clouds here and there, but mostly sunny. West side of the Vecht all the way to the end of the Daalseweg (suspicious look out of a car window departing from those exclusive homes). Then Oostwaard to Zuylensebrug and through Maarssenbroek. At the other side of the freeway some new access road construction going on--the beast that is the city/suburb automobile remains hungry for yet more space. Through the fields around Haarzuilens to Laag Nieuwkoop and Gerverscop. The latter busier with bikes, tractors, and cars than on weekdays, but still pleasant. To Woerden and Cattenbroek. A mostly quiet, sunny Saturday morning; people, but no one in the way, little motorized interference. Bridge open in Montfoort, so left through Achthoven. Highlight was the green, peaceful IJsseldijk toward the Meerlobrug. On the bike path beyond, the one obnoxious, loud light motorcycle of the day, ruining things for a moment. Nedereindseweg and Ringkade to de Meern, and back into the city and Mos. In the paper a piece on how the interference with Von der Leyen's airplane's communications system may be a more complicated story than an unambiguous one of targeted Russian intimidation, although that last option cannot be ruled out. Just because of this weekend's drone attacks on Ukraine Moscow does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Meanwhile, the American president, once more, talks about how he may impose new sanctions on Russia. Let's have some walking of the walk, finally.
