A short run. Great road surface. Not too strenuous. But very busy. On the main road, take a quick detour toward the military base, and it’s quiet there. Beautiful views.... read more

A short run. Great road surface.
Not too strenuous.
But very busy. On the main road, take a quick detour toward the military base, and it’s quiet there. Beautiful views.

Lopertje. Prima wegdek.
Niet zo zwaar.
Wel erg druk. Op de hoofdweg sla je even af richting militair domein en dan is het wel rustig. Mooie vergezichten.
