Weather forecast today progressively worse. Other 2 couples wanted to start early to avoid later rain, but we wanted to take our time and be in the rally group photo. Connected with friends John and Rosemarie from Australia/UK whom we knew from the rally in Brittany 2 yrs ago. After that rally we had also met up with them in Normandy and had dinner with them. Anyway, they ride a Bike Friday as we do. Rode today not only with them but also with 3 other couples on Bike Fridays, 2 from Australia and one from Tasmania. Good to make new friends Good ride, lunch in Belgium. While we were at lunch the rain started , and the last 15 miles of the ride was in a steady drizzle, but it was not cold and we did not die.
We got back to our cottage a few minutes ahead of our roommates. We all cleaned up our bikes and ourselves while the rain came down harder and harder. In the evening Rob and Nancy drove with us to Breda for dinner. Graham and Edie rstayed back and ate at the campground's restaurant.
Pics: the other 5 on Sat. ride, one of the Dutch organizers dancing for us in his wooden clogs (clompen- good word), and one of the younger tandem pairs.
