Sunday's ride with @twilwel was just over 120 km, the first 70 km were in an easterly direction against a raging force 4 headwind. We visited the ancient star shaped fort of Bourtange where we had coffee before riding back. On the return journey the wind actually did help us.
Occasionally the wind was strong enough that we could even sail, as you can see in Harry's video:

Today's bike ride with @TheoZw and @twilwel took us to Bourtange, an old fortress on the Dutch/German border. We've meant to go there for a few weeks, but each time something would come up which prevented us. It began to feel like a curse.

The contrast between the modern velomobiles and the old buildings is always interesting. Unfortunately they also let cars in.

Our destination was Bourtange, a star shaped village / fortification on the border with Germany. Clearly this worked because the border juts out to the east at this point.

The destination today was the ancient fort of Bourtange. This was obviously very successful in the past because there's actually a bulge in the border into what would otherwise be Germany.
Anyway, with this being a sunday in the middle of summer it was actually closed to through traffic. They were firing cannons and doing other historical re-enactment type stuff so we didn't go in. For a little while we also became an attraction at the entrance but then we turned around. Some of the photos here are from previous visits.

Dieses Elend NL Staat fing für ein paar hundert Jahre in #Bourtange an. Damals hat irgendein Typen namens Willem (Er war es natürlich ganz alleine, er hieß ja auch Van Oranje), die Katholen von der spanische Besatzungsmacht (auch ein Elend) aus Bourtange raus komplimentiert. Mit viel Blut und so. Das hatte damals schon Tradition. Ich hab mir dieses Bourtange heute mal angeschaut.
