We had checked the weather forecast for home before we left Las Vegas, and the weather was looking pretty good. So we decided we wanted to ride home from the airport. We couldn’t do that in 1 day, so we decided to go to Linda’s brother in Utrecht first and then see if we could ride home from there in 1 or 2 days.
We arrived at the airport around 11 am, so we had plenty of time to reassemble the bikes and rearrange our luggage. After lunch we rode to Utrecht. By the time we went to bed we had been awake for almost 30 hours and we slept pretty well. But a bit too long… We wanted to leave early the next morning so we could get as far as possible that day. The forecast fort he day after had changed and they predicted rain now. If we would get far enough this day, we would be able to get home before the rain the next day.
But all the plans went down the drain when we woke up at 10 am and didn’t get on our way till around noon. It was a beautiful and warm day, so it was a great day to ride. We came till around Apeldoorn, we knew there was a campground there that was still open and always had room for cyclists. But we were about the only ones there, so finding a spot was not a problem.
The next day the weather had indeed deteriorated. It was dry in the beginning, but after a while it started to drizzle. So we decided to just ride to the city of Zwolle and take the train from there. After a 40 minute train ride we arrived home…
