Amsterdam Day 306: Bike Ride up the Amstel

Today we went for the longest bike ride that we have taken yet. Our friend Tracy is visiting and we decided to test ourselves on a long ride. We started off by riding along to a cute town Ouderkirk an de Amstel. We ride for seven kilometers or so from Ouderkirk along the Amstel river up to Amsterdam. 


It's a really cute journey looking at giant estates, farms, dairies, and windmills. 



While in Amsterdam we went to the Dutch Resistance Museum, lunch at the Salsa Shop, wandered around the Noordermart market (Tracy bought shoes and we had to stop her from buying more that did not fit), dinner at De Hallen, wandering through Vondelpark, checking out the house that we almost rented in the Old South, and then heading home by way of a cool second hand store. 


The girls found a box full of wedding dresses. What do you do when you find a box of wedding dresses? Put them on and take pictures. So they did. 


And we headed home. 


We did about 20 miles today on bike. It has been awhile since I've done that many. The rear end can feel it right now. It has been awhile since my spin classes have had me prepped.
