Work in progress

The coming month I will be working more on the website. Last couple of years I had less time to work on the website.   Also the other website about biketouring will be merged into this website. I will try to keep the site multilangual as possible. our biketouring holidays will start in Dutch and translated later on. If you have questions about one of the tours, please let me know.  

Eleven cities biking tour 2018

Eleven cities biking tour 2018

A few weeks ago we were in Friesland already, we then cycled with our tour-bikes the “elfstedentocht“. The second day of Pentecost (whit-monday) we did ride the 240 kilometer eleven cities bike ride. We were accompanied by 15.000 other bikers. Different categories of cyclists participate in the tour. Fast ‘race’-cyclists, sporty cyclists and real recreational cyclists.

We planned our trip and try to get some quite roads and even some unpaved ones as well. Due to the weather…

Frogbike 9 versnellingen

Frogbike 9 versnellingen

Finn rijd al enige tijd op een Ghost Powerkid met 24 versnellingen. Met de originele 8 versnellingen komen we af en toe iets te kort op de klimmetje. Het is mogelijk om een 8 speed om te bouwen naar een 9 speed cassette, je moet dan ook de derailleur en de shifters vervangen. Voor onze reis naar noorwegen heb ik onze Frogbike 62 voorzien van een 9 speed cassette. ( shifter en derailleur had ik nog liggen) Hij kan nu…
