The Amsterdam Hash chose a truly beautiful day to host the first Tulip Bike Hash. Jimmy had to scout trail for the Dutch Nash Hash, so unfortunately he couldn’t join me, and I thought it would be too far for the girls, so they went to Sally’s. I took my bike for the first time on the train to Heemstede where I met about 20 hashers. We rode through the local woods and out into the tulip bulb fields of Hillegom, which were in prime bloom. The traffic around the infamous Keukenhof Gardens was insane and I was very thankful to be on a bike and not in a car. We then made our way out to Sassenheim for a picnic stop and to catch a little of the Bloemencorso (flower parade.) It was funny to see a US-themed float with Thomas Jefferson, Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. We passed a lot of farm animals on our journey back along a beautiful canal up until the time we had to take a detour due to a traffic accident, which led us onto a major road with no sights. After 35 miles and a quick hash circle at the end, I was back on the train with a big smile on my face.
