Leontien's Ladies Ride

Pieter went to Venlo, to watch a soccer game (VVV - AJAX) and I went to Den Bosch with my sister, to join Leontien's Ladies Ride. It's a 70 km bycicly ride for women only from Den Bosch to Boekel and back and it is organized in name of Leontien Zijlaard - van Moorsel. Leontien is a Dutch cyclist, who won (among other victories) double gold and one silver medal at the Sydney Olympics and the Tour de France for Women. Through her Leontien's Ladies Ride, she wants to make other women aware of the benefits of cycling and a healthy way of living.

Beautiful castle Heeswijk, along the route

Relaxing on a FatBoy, nice after 70 km on a rather hard bicycle sadle
