A loop around the Rotte is always nice to cycle. From the track to the Irenebrug in Rotterdam, the loop is about 20 km. There is always something to see. A boat on the water and waterfowl.

Cycling on a racing bike is only really fun on weekdays or when the weather is not so good.

Today we walked from Benthuizen. The weather was beautiful. Many cyclists and walkers. The 42 km walk included a tour of the Rottemeer. Very beautiful and wonderful nature reserve. Beautiful bridge. View of the Rotterdam skyline. Very beautiful

Beautiful piece of history these mills. In the past it was full of mills from here to Rotterdam. On a racing bike you will not visit the mill museum in Zevenhuizen that quickly but if you are walking here (which is also nice) definitely take a look.

Nice for walking and cycling but consider renting a canoe. Really fun to do.
