We completed the third annual bicycle tour September 12-14, 2025; this time from Delft to the island of Texel. Pascal, Jules, Neville, Christoph, Benjamin, Sara, Nora, Yumi, and Jason did the 170 km ride, camping near Haarlem the first night and near Den Helder the second night. We rode mostly along the coast of the country, much of it through the picturesque dunes. We crossed into Texel on the ferry and took a dip in the Wadden sea at the end. On the way back to the ferry, Benjamin's classic bike's rear axle snapped in half to provide us with a bit of adventure in getting back home.
The approximate route: Delft -> Haarlem -> Den Helder -> Texel.

With one major bicycle failure, Jules saved the day running 5 km with the bike!
