Mostly leisurely tour in a great landscape between Roermond and Maastricht.

June 16, 2022,(NL) Beegden - Berg aan de Maas

From Beegden near Roermond, Frank went through a wonderful landscape towards Maastricht and back.
Beautiful bike paths and plenty of water were plentiful. The sometimes strong wind from the front on the way back could not affect the excellent impression of the tour.
