Camping with a ‘oma’ bike, part two

Last blog I said that I needed to follow Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. I didn’t want to take the normal google bikeride, cause that would not have giving me the nature that I was looking for.

I jumped on the bike with my mom saying: “Syl maybe you should just bike around the block and see how hard it will be.” I told her that I would just drive and I could turn soon enough if I  would realize that this was a stupid plan.

Surprisingly, I quickly  saw the signs Ouderkerk. The sun was staring at me and nature was waving. Yup, this is Syl in her happy place!

I biked along the water and on my way I found an old windmill, if you want, it’s a nice place to sit and relax a bit, about 20 meters further there is a small ferry that you can take for maybe 1 euro and a little bit.(cash only) I didn’t take this one, later I was told that the other side was even a better bikeride.

Camping wth a ‘oma’ bike. Part 3 Did I make it?

the road
I took the road to Baambrigge

So I went wrong and had to deal with it.
It started to rain but I just pretended that it didn’t. Let’s see if that works, if you say it’s not there then it’s just not there.

A little panic
Take a look again at the map.
I went down to Nes a/d Amstel, but before I reached ‘The Nes’, I took the ferry and biked down to the loop close to Waver. At that point I started to see signs with Ouderkerk again. I think this was the moment for some little panic. Just a little.
Yet, It is the wrong time and place to get in panic. And it won’t help anyone.

Camping with a ‘oma’ bike. Part 1

met-de-fiets-de-volgende-ochtend
I always see those people biking with their camping stuff in those bikebags. As I bought my backpack and willing to try my new friend as much as possible, but also or maybe actually because those bikebags are too expensive for now, I questioned myself if I could bike with a backpack from Amsterdam to Loosdrechtseplassen, not that far. The answer was: “I am just going to do it” I just needed to make it work.
