Epic Bike Trip

At the end of our time in Prague, Marico and I had a lot of time to just hang around.  Our flight left at 6am, which meant we had to hang around then take the night bus and sit in the airport for the night.  This sounds a little rough, but it gave us time to talk about The Epic Bike Trip.  We've decided to bike from Delft to Barcelona.  There may be some train travel along (it's about 1800km and we've only got a month) the way, but we're going to cycle most of it.  It'll look a little like this:

We're planning on cycling all of August.  To partake of this trip I went ahead and got a NEW BIKE!  It's a Cube touring bike, and it's quite sleek.

To kick it off, Marcio and I cycled to Leiden, west through the tulip fields, and south through the dune fields this weekend.  It was a marvelous, 60km journey.  Marcio has the photos, so I'll just include a map until I can get them from him.

First real trip with the new bike: Leiden.

And here's me at the tulip fields wet of Leiden!
