Today I did a 24 km bicycle tour in the morning and in the afternoon
I went to Motorservice Ossendrecht with my BMW so John could mount
the windshield spoiler I ordered some time ago.
With this spoiler, the noise from the wind against my helmet is a
lot less so I am happy with it.

Today I tried a longer longer bicycle tour. I did the same ride as
I did on Wednesday to the railway and traffic bridges over the
Schelde-Rijnkanaal, but now in opposite direction and after I
crossed the A4, I did not went home but turned right and took the
narrow country road to Ossedrecht and via Ossendrecht I went back
home. It was 25,6 kilometer and I enjoyed it to be outside in the
sun and the fresh air.

afternoon, I made a motorbike ride to Roosendaal to check out one of
my favorite motorcycles, the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
On my way back, I took the long scenic way home and with the wonderful
weather we have today, It felt like holiday.

Belgium closed its border because of the corona-crisis. Only people who
have a special permit may cross the border (like our son in law who has
to go to work in a petshop in Antwerp).
The Belgian police has blocked most border crossings with big containers
and has checkpoints at the other border crossings like the one in Putte,
close to where we live.

Dispite the corona threat, I needed to get out of the house and on the
motorcycle to enjoy the nice weather.
I made a short trip from my house to Kruiningen in Zeeland over the
two-lane road and from Kruiningen I used the single lane road along
the Westerschelde dike until Rilland. Then I went home via Ossendrecht
and Calfven.

There is not much to do due to the corona-virus and our daughter
needed some things from the supermarket yesterday so we cycled to
the supermarket and from there to our daughter her house.
We had a coffee and then we cycled to Huijbergen and back via a
scenic route.

Always look at the bright side of life.
Almost all activities have been canceled because of the corona-virus
but the weather is very nice, so took my BMW R858R for a ride into
Zeeland. It was very quiet on the roads and I enjoyed my ride to Goes
and from there via the road along the Westerschelde dike, past the
little villages Waarde and Rilland and through Belgium back home.

Because of the corona-virus outbreak, some of our grandchildren could
not go to school and because their mother had to work they stayed with
us. Together with our daughter and some of her children, we went for a
walk in the forest.
Our grandson loved to jump in the puddles of water with his new boots.

We had a lot of rain lately but today is a bright sunny day so when
I had to bring one of my guns to the gunshop for a modification, I
got on my BMW motorbike to get there.
After my visit to the gunshop, I took the scenic road to Goes via
the fishing harbour of Yerseke.

chatted with a salesman about GoldWings and then took the scenic
route home.

Today I attended the 3K Run 'n Gun competition in Hulten and I won
my 4th 'Super Senior' trophy.(a ranking for participants of sixty
years and older).
We could not do the obstacle course with our own rifles because
of Dutch law but had to carry a wooden dummy on the course.
