Cycling along the Limes

Friday July 31st, 2009

I cycled from Nijmegen to the Black Sea in 2005 along the Limes. The Limes is the old northern boundary of the Roman Empire and there is a beautiful bicycle ride along. I still wanted to cycle the part of the Limes that I didn’t do, from Nijmegen to the North Sea. Since we planned to go to Schoorl for a week, it seemed a good time to do so to me. I cycled from Nijmegen to Katwijk aan Zee. A beautiful route, just as the other part of the Limes. After a pizza on the boulevard of Katwijk I biked to Noordwijkerhout and pitched my tent. Here I called my nephew and niece who live in Noordwijkerhout and I drunk wine until late, I really enjoyed it. The next morning I left at eight, the boulders on the roads were annoying because of all the wine… Via IJmuiden and Zandvoort, and the beautiful Kennemerdunes I drove to Schoorl where I arives at one o´clock after a route of 230 kilometers. Great to cycle on my trusted recumbent again!
