This morning I was up half past six
Everything was wet due to the mist
I packed the tent and the other stuff leisurly and loaded the bike. After that I said goodbey to the other people on the field.
The speed was low, and it was hard working. The rear wheel constantly chafed the mudgard. I only did 30 km. in more then two hours.
I made a pause and texted with Liesbeth. After that I messaged the blog. I enjoyed the pease an bird sounds.
I wanted to check why the wheel chafed, so I lifted the side sac.
The wheel chafed more or less sinds Scheveningen.
saw with horro what had happend to the back of my cycle.
t was totaly bended and it started even to tear.
I phoned Liesbeth to teel what had happened. I told her that I would come home, by train.
Train wasn't realy a option. You cant lift the loaded cycle in the train. So cycling to Assen I thought about it and had a idea. I googled for a car rentel place and found one. With phone and GPS and asking I found the place.
When I explaned my troubles the were realy very forthcomming.
I could rent a Volkswagen Caddy and if I returned it before 13.00 next day I only had to pay for one day.
The recmbent and luggage was easely loaded in the caddy and I drove to Middelburg.
I stopted at a parking area and phoned to Liesbeth to tell her that I would arrive at home around five
Liesbeth was verry surprised that I arrived at home at vife oclock by car.
Everything was unloaded and the recumbent was taken apart.
It is good to be at home, but I had rather made the whole tour on the recumbent.......
