Happy Sunday! It’s a glorious day here in Amsterdam.
Ding dong, ding dong….. on Sundays the nearby church’s carillon rings every 15 minutes. Now that’s commitment to one’s religion. We still slept quite soundly though.
Ahhh, what a superb slumber we had – interrupted only by the melodic chime of the nearby carillon located in the bell tower of our local church (not so melodic at 4 AM).
Helen & I arrived on our scheduled flight from London at precisely 10:45 AM this morning (local time). Schipol Airport is a wonder of Dutch efficiency (except for Customs – ). This took a bit longer than expected.

It’s raining, it’s pouring!
As I have mentioned (ad nauseum), Helen & I are going a 2 week cycling excursion to Holland (aka The Netherlands). We had originally thought that we would bring our Trek 7.5 FXs with us as they are ideally suited for such an excursion.
I took another ride yesterday. I went on Promenade Champlain; which is a new place for walk/cycling that they just built for Quebec’s 400th birthday. The place is amazing! When you’re riding there, you follow the St-Lawrence River from Old Quebec to the Quebec City Bridge.
You’re...
I am somewhat inspired by my friend Marc over at Amsterdamize. He has realized the potential of creating and broadcasting videos in order to get his cycling message across. You may recall that I have posted some of his work in the past.
So – on to business. Marc got me so pumped...
It is well known that Quebec City is an awesome place for cyclists. But I think that there is a better place for cycling – not inside Quebec City, but around the city.
I took a ride last Friday to Ile d’Orlean. It’s an island in the St. Lawrence River not too far...
