Holland thus far

Met the team. Love the team. There are 17 of us in total, 15 canadians and 2 Americans. Everyone isbfrom different areas so of is cool to learn about every person and where they are from. I have learned so much in the last couple of days from other riders and people we randomly meet.

In holland, the rules of the road are slightly different that in Canada. Right of way first goes to bicycles then pedestrians and finally cars. In Vancouver, pedestrians definitely have the right of way. I love riding around holland on my bike is way faster than walking and sometimes faster than a car. I was only almost hit by a scooter twice which are also allowed in bike lanes. Every street has a bike lane and some are bikes only. Love it.

Favorite food so far: chocolate covered waffles. So delicous, they have huge sugar crystals inside of them.

First day of riding today. It was only suppose to be a 40 km ride but it turned out to be closer to 60 km. And we rode the majority of it into a head wind.

Sorry about the little detail but I'm off the a bonfire along the canal.

Good night from Utrecht, Holland.
