Vat Oe Fiets

Sunday, 1-May-2008 - Veghel - Chris and I rode 50 km today on the fortieth edition of Vat Oe Fiets, Veghel's annual bicycle tour for young and old. This year the route took us through Schijndel, Gemonde, St. Michielsgestel, and Den Dungen. Along the way, we saw familiar faces of volunteers at checkpoints. We met Bep and Henriëtte, Fun on Wheels skaters. Bep was bicycling with her husband Gerard, and Henriëtte was at the Molenheide Garden Center checkpoint in Schijndel. Bernadine, mother of Chris's friend Hein, was working at the Garden Center. We also met our neighbors Tineke and Gert when we got back in Veghel. They bicycled together in a group of 21 from their church parish. In Den Dungen, the checkpoint was in the Jacobuskerk were beautiful organ music could be heard. I went farther inside to enjoy it.
