They predicted less wind for today, so thought to fill up the Strava Consistancy Challenge for March (800 km).
Via Twisk and the water storage to Opperdoes. Past the sod 'farmer' who prefers not to see his name in the sod (Klaver graszoden) and on along the harbors in Medemblik. From there to Onderdijk. Along the dike a beautiful carriage …

I didn't check the rain radar this morning, so I didn't see all those (small) showers coming. On the way there, with the wind at my back, I took the bike path along the dike. Lots of dogs, often off-leash, but that wasn't a problem today. Oddly enough, even in places where there's no fencing, I still have a (little) …

January 27, 2026,HEM ( Hoorn, Enkhuizen, Medemblik)

Buienradar gave a wind chill of -8°C, while the Windfinder app I usually use indicated a wind force of 30 km/h.
That "feels like" temperature was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was cold nonetheless.
So I decided to cancel the originally planned ride to Wieringen.
I drove with a tailwind to Hoorn, through the ribbon development to Enkhuizen, …

After the rain had passed according to the radar, I decided to go for a quick lap. After about 400 meters, I decided to go in a different direction than planned due to the strong wind. A few more showers until I reached Enkhuizen, but then it was dry. I returned in the lee of the buildings.

Anita wanted to go shopping in Medemblik, so we drove together to the town center. Then I drove around Radboud Castle
towards Enkhuizen. There the sky got very dark and a few drops of rain fell. Back through the ribbon development of Grootebroek, Lutjebroek, and the like.

Strong wind (5 to 6 Bft) and a number of short fierce showers. Fortunately, there is always a tree nearby to take shelter for a while.
Not really cycling weather....

Today a round via a piece of 'old Opperdoes' (Kluiten and Zuiderweg) to Medemblik and Wervershoof. Along the Dijkweg (no mosquitoes today) to Andijk and along the Streekbos to Bovenkarspel and Grootebroek. Between the buildings via Hoogkarspel and Westwoud back to Midwoud.
Today music and photos worked again.

After a few days off from cycling, getting back on track is quite a challenge for me—especially during the winter. Every day of rest, my motivation drops by half. So I was currently at 25% 😀.
Anyway, I had to pick up some groceries and it's dry, so I decided on a short loop through Enkhuizen. The wind and temperature …
