Winter is not the ideal season for bike rides, but today’s nice weather provided an unexpected opportunity. The 4 °C/39 °F cold wasn’t much of a problem. With only a soft breeze blowing and the sun shining generously, it was pleasant enough to be out and about.

As you can see on the map, today’s trip went almost straight to the north. It wasn’t a specific course; I just sort of followed the Leiden-Haarlem railroad to the towns of Warmond and Voorhout, then headed back to Leiden on the other side of the tracks. All in all, the ride was just over 21 km/13 mi: long enough to feel you’re doing something, and not too long that you get back feeling tired. I didn’t take any pictures this time, so you’ll have to trust me on the nice scenery along the way!
