I was having quite a lazy Sunday last weekend. I had done some things in house, but since the weather was quite nice I wanted to get outside. It is autumn in the Netherlands and that often means lots of rain and wind. But we had neither of them last weekend, so I collected my gear and went for a ride. I also attached my camera to my bicycle, so I could make some nice shots.
It was already a bit late in the afternoon and since it gets dark quite quickly this time of the year I couldn't make a very big round. I opened Komoot to see if I had a smaller round in the area. When I logged in I noticed that the Komoot website had an update. I selected a 45 kilometer ride in the polder. Almost halfway through the ride I noticed that I had made a fault. It was a route with a ferry and the ferry was not in use on Sunday. That ment that I had to improvise. I chose to continue riding alongside the canal and followed the signs to towns in the neighborhood. When I came home I had made a nice ride and I had 38 kilometer which I could add to my yearly total.
If you want to get an impression of the ride, check out the video below.

Yearly stats
I'm doing well if we look at the yearly stats. I'm still above the blue line, which is the average I should ride every week. But I do have to make my kilometers since I'm going on a business trip in two weeks and because of that I won't be commuting for a week.
Until last Sunday I made 4244 kilometers this year. This week I made 104,61 extra kilometers. That means I have 755,67 kilometer left to go. That should be achievable 🚴🏻💪🏻
