    Mountainbike ride in the Netherlands

    Thought I'd share some cellphone pictures I took on my mountain bike ride yesterday.
    Hoping you guys will enjoy the landscape.

    Nice sunny weather


    Toads crossing my path




    Brown water.






    Clear water, and my old-school bike, no suspension at all








    Well, that's it.

    Nice ride by the looks of it. That toad reminds me of Jaba the Hut.

    I think it's because during mating season they go from one place to another and because they're so slow they get runover by the hundreds/thousands by cars.

    There's also volunteers here that pick them up on one site of the road and release them on the other side.... (No I didn't make this up )
