Born to cruise

2 August 2011 - Amsterdam (FBI HQ)- Were the days before the start filled with rain as soon as the Born to cruise started on tuesday the rain was gone. Tuesday was still clouded, but a sunburn was possible for those not into sunblock as some experienced. The route took the 80+ on this first day from Amsterdam to Bodegraven, with at the second stop some delicious smoked eel at the smokehouse of Dirk en Anneke Eveleens and an American Bitter at Brewery "De Molen" at the last stop. The hotel was so kind to have a room to lock the bikes inside ... cruisin" in the hotel lobby. Pictures day 1
        

Day 2, Bodegraven-Amersfoort started with a breakfast at the hotel for those staying on the nearby campsite. The route followed the "Oude Rijn" to Woerden where we came accross one of the best Basman e bikes ever seen. From there on to Utrecht for a stop downtown leaving the rivers, dikes and polders from the first day and morning of the second day behind us. Through the forrest and over the sand dunes we found our way to Amersfoort for another beer at the Born to cruise taste of beer experience. When the brewery "De 3 Ringen" closed his doors the night was still young  ..... something that couldn't be said about some the next morning after a booze filled evening and night in picturesque downtown Amersfoort.
    


    

The last day started just like the second with loading the truck and breakfast for all on the square where the hotel(s) were located. The missing part of the Ukrainian team joined us that morning on the cruise; due to an accident with the car in Poland on the way to Amsterdam they missed the first two days...lukely no one got hurt..but found their way to the campsite wednesday evening. Along the borders of the "IJsselmeer" we headed back to Amsterdam. Had the loveboat experience on the ferry accorss the "Eem" before landing at 14.00 sharp on the beach in Huizen for rendez vous with the Germans coming from the west to accompany those who did the 3 day tour on their last kilometers to fortress at Naarden for a groupphoto and then on to Amsterdam for a beer from Brewery "De 7 Deugden" at the Dome.


   
Born to cruise. Some are and some aren't you could say, but Maelysa sure is. This 10 year lady old from France became the hero of the FBI 2011. Doing the 60 km a day on her 20" single speed chopper with a smile on her face......all day long.

   
Thanks to all who joined us and helped out to make this first Born to Cruise a memorable one.
