We hired bicycles for the week so we could explore the area. With the exception of one day, this holiday was all about cycling, enjoying the designated cycle paths through the beautiful and thankfully flat countryside!
Other days were spent riding out on longer rides and enjoying the fantastic weather. We had picnic lunches in forestry areas, visited bars for refreshment and ice cream parlours for the taste of farm made ices. On our journey’s we discovered working windmills and enjoyed the thrill of watching the sails turning in the breeze whilst watching the grain being ground to flour.
With great weather all week we enjoyed BBQ dinners outside in the sun, as well as dining out at local restaurants. We leisurely rode to local towns, stopping for a drink and snack to refresh ourselves. At the Center Parcs resort we played pool, adventure golf and ten-pin bowling, and enjoyed the entertainment on offer in the evenings.
We took one day off of cycling as we visited “Floriade” at Venlo, an event that is held only once in every 10 years......so something special! It is an amazing variety of flowers mixed with graphic art, dance, music and theatre.
Over the week we probably covered approximately 55-60 miles, so well done to everybody!
