rhialtoI have been somewhat unsatisfied with my fitness recently, so I decided it was time to do some exercise. This is nice to combine with some cheap shopping for rum: the Aldi in Kranenburg has cheap rum and peppermint tea (which tends to be expensive here, for some reason, if you can even find it).
My bike has just been repaired (new chain and cogwheels; they weren't gripping properly anymore), and with properly pumped up tires, fresh brakes, the saddle set to a good position again, and 2 apples and self-made energy drink (tea with sugar), I undertook my trip.
I wanted to show the approximate route with google maps (warning: may require javascript) but it doesn't seem to know the border crossing which is visible on the map, so it shows a weird detour.
The part "Oude Kleefsebaan" is very good exercise since it is a hill. Yes, a hill. It belongs to the village "Berg en Dal" (Mountain and Valley). The highest point of the trip is in that village, so once you get there, the rest of the trip is easy. And again on the way back.
The trip out took me about 50 minutes (including some short rests), and back about 60. Now I have sufficient rum, tea, and After Eights for a while :-)
