Pit Stop on the way to F1

August 29, 2025 Leave a comment

The Formula One races come to our beach town this weekend. See https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2025/netherlands

If someone rides their bicycle from Amsterdam or Harlem, they will be treated to a pit stop along the bike path, sponsored by the Dutch bicycle company called Gazelle.

They have Coke, water, and gear to fix your bicycle. We visited it with Piper the night before it opened. It’s powered by a solar generator, and most of the roads in the area are closed too, in an effort to control neighborhood car traffic.

Hiking with the deer

I’m able to walk to this nature preserve where the deer are safe to eat and wander. So, a friend and I went for about a 2-hour hike today to see our neighboring wildlife.
