Used recently on a trip to the Presidential Range in the White Mountains of NH. Cover has only one tie off to keep it secured to your pack. Used it on a an above treeline backpacking trip, we had sustained 60 mph winds with gusts into the 70's I could not keep the cover attached no matter what I tried. Im sure it will be fine in normal situations though.
I purchase two XL pack covers for a Kelty Red Cloud 110, and a Kelty Red Cloud 90, which it swallowed with no trouble. This fit perfectly over the 110, although I did not have any gear attached to the outside. I believe it could handle a little more, but it haven't tried yet.It fit a little loose on the 90, but had plenty of extra room to add a sleeping pad or similar item on the outside.It attaches with a clip at the top to your center lift loop, then has an elastic band with Velcro cinch at the lumbar area, very nicely snugging it up.Durability seems good for the weight. Don't expect this to be indestructible, but it will take some knocks.I've gone through some moderate rain with this cover, and it's kept everything dry so far. Looking forward to putting it through it's paces later this month at Philmont.
I had a few days of rain on a 7 day hiking trip and this large rain cover worked a treat. I got the large for my 65L Baltoro back pack and there was plenty of spare room to cover a (small) tent if I had one attached to the under straps on the back pack to keep dry. The pack was kept dry by the cover. Highly recommended, good product.
The good:-Light and packable-Cinches well around the pack attaches securely-Most definitely waterproofThe bad:-Rips easily (passing twigs and rocks, etc ; a long way from bombproof), but also accepts duct tape easily
The storms always come in the afternoon when in the mountains, and this pack cover keeps your goods dry. My main concern was size because I have an 85L pack. I had no problem what so ever getting this over my pack and quickly. It's tiny when rolled up so you can keep it anywhere and close by. For the price, I don't see any need in buying a different one.
My wife has the medium size pack cover to go with my Gregory Jade 60 pack. It is sized properly (just use the guide to figure out which one you need). Have used it several times and it has keep her pack and contents dry. Wish it had more color choices to match my pack but the blue isnt too bad. Packs small when not in use.

save the dates
My save the date magnets turned out perfect. Exactly as I had designed on my computer. Shipped quickly and actually arrived early.
beautiful design
I absolutely loved my heart shaped save the date magnets. My family and friends also loved it. I've received so many compliments. The only thing is, if you do order these make sure you use a picture with a lot of color. I used a sepia colored picture and it came out really dark.
I really enjoyed the magnets' design and size.
When I received the magnets, I was so excited and they made me look forward to my wedding even more. <3
Beautiful Touch, Excellent Quality at an Affordable Price
We are getting married March 15, 2014 and the save the date options are plentiful. The velvet rose design was perfect for us and we able to bring some wedding colors in through the magnet save the date. We recommend ordering extra because you will want to display on your home refrigerator and at work on your office file cabinet.
beatiful magnet save the dates
they came faster then i thought wich was great!!!!

The thermostat may allow the engine to run too cool, which will cause it to run rough at idle. Replacing the thermostat should fix this concern if the engine is running too cool.

If the engine runs rough, stalls, hesitates on acceleration, is hard to start, or has generally poor performance, this can be caused by a cracked or broken air inlet tube. Loose clamps on the air tube can also cause this these problems. Tightening the air inlet tube, or replacing if broken, should correct the problem.

Use the Unexpected
One of the most effective tools in the interior designer's tool belt is the use of the unexpected. Have you ever thought about employing this tactic to furniture arranging? How about placing a small sofa in the kitchen with a round table in front of it for a cozy breakfast nook? Or, if you have an open kitchen/family room combination and a separate dining room, have you ever considered turning the family room area into a large dining area and the dining room into a quieter space for television watching or reading? If you don't do much formal entertaining, the dining room likely sits empty most of the time. By swapping the two rooms around, you are creating a large multi-use living space of kitchen/dining/family area that can be used for casual dinner parties (after all, doesn't everyone congregate in the kitchen anyway?) AND you will have a new quieter family room for reading or movie watching.

Jeff co-founded the Weather Underground in 1995 while working on his Ph.D. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990.
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:19 PM GMT on August 18, 2012
July 2012 was the globe's 4th warmest July on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). NASA rated it the 12th warmest. July 2012 global land temperatures were the 3rd warmest on record, breaking a streak of three months (April, May, and June) when global land temperatures were the warmest on record. July 2012 global ocean temperatures were the 7th warmest on record, and it was the 329th consecutive month with global temperatures warmer than the 20th century average. The last time global temperatures were below average was February 1985. Global satellite-measured temperatures in July for the lowest 8 km of the atmosphere were 7th or 5th warmest in the 34-year record, according to Remote Sensing Systems and the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH). Wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, has a comprehensive post on the notable weather events of July in his July 2012 Global Weather Extremes Summary.

Richie McCaw will be given a six-month break from rugby in 2013.
This is part of the All Blacks captain's sabbatical clause in his contract with the NZRU.
While he's allowed to enjoy a stint overseas, the player has rather opted to take a break. The time away from rugby is expected to give the 31-year-old the opportunity to refresh physically and mentally to prolong his career and strengthen the hopes of playing at the next World Cup in 2015.
After discussions with the NZRU, All Blacks and Crusaders management, it's been decided that McCaw will start his break after the the end-of-year tour to Europe. The loose forward will miss the bulk of Super Rugby and the All Blacks' June Test series against France.
'I'm pretty keen to play as long as I can especially for the All Blacks, and in New Zealand; the break will hopefully allow me to play a bit longer,' said McCaw.
'Part of it is physical, but it's also mental. Over the years I've never really had more than a couple of months off unless it's been injury-related. So to be able to take a break, reassess and then play whatever time I've got left is a good opportunity.'
McCaw also believes extended breaks will help him to make an impact at Test level over the next four years and rejuvenate his passion for the game.
'The big thing I want to make sure is there is not a perception I'm just hanging in there and just being around for the sake of it. I still want to do it right and having that break is going to hopefully invigorate the next couple of year,' he explained.
'The body takes a pounding regularly but it's when you lose that desire to get yourself over that and ready for the next week, that's when you start to have enough. Sometimes having a break here and there reminds you how much fun it is when you put the jersey on. I still absolutely love it.'
No 8 Kieran Read will lead the Crusaders in McCaw's absence during Super Rugby. McCaw also expects Read to take over the All Blacks captaincy.

OXFORD, Ohio – Behind a fantastic pitching performance from senior Paige Myers, the Miami University softball team earned a 3-0 victory over Akron on Saturday. The RedHawks improve to 18-22 overall and 6-7 in the Mid-American Conference. The Zips fall to 20-12 overall and 6-5 in the MAC.
Myers was nearly unhittable while earning her eighth victory of the season. She threw a complete game, allowing only five hits while striking out a season-high tying nine. No Akron runner was able to advance past second base against her.
Miami got all the runs it needed in the bottom of the first inning. Senior catcher Kayla Ledbetter led off with a single through the left side. Senior second baseman Kristy Arbour reached on a throwing error by the catcher; Ledbetter advanced to third on the play. Arbour was able to steal second on the next play. The throw was dropped by the Zips' second baseman, which allowed Ledbetter to score and give the RedHawks a 1-0 lead.
After Akron recorded an out, junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb drew a walk. Sophomore designated player Jenna Modic followed with a single to left field that scored Arbour. One batter later, junior third baseman Remy Edwards completed Miami's scoring with a single to right center that brought home Lipscomb and made it 3-0.
Arbour finished the game 2-for-4 with one run scored. Modic was 2-for-3 with one RBI.
Miami completes its weekend series with Akron Sunday at 1 p.m.

Join us for the Grand Opening of our new exhibit Gettysburg: "They walked through blood." The exhibit will open at 10:00am on Saturday, May 11th and will be included with regular Museum admission.
Perhaps no event of the American Civil War has been romanticized and written about more than the last great charge by General Longstreet's men on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Historically referred to as "Pickett's Charge," this exhibit tells the story of the dramatic event primarily through the display of the battle flags carried by the units of Major General George Pickett's Virginia Division. One eyewitness recalled the "war flags fluttering in the gentle summer breeze" as they marked the progress of the advancing Confederate soldiers across the one-mile no-man's land separating the two armies. As the Southerners began the final surge against the stone wall crowning Cemetery Ridge, Northerners noted "the enemy with colors flying advancing in columns in mass" and braced themselves for the onslaught. When the charge was broken, Union soldiers gathered in "sheaves of battle flags"—testimony to the high cost of the charge. Thirteen of the fifteen battle flags carried by regiments in Pickett's division were captured in the charge. All but one of the thirteen were given to the Museum of the Confederacy in 1905 when, by resolution of Congress, the United States War Department returned the captured Confederate flags to the southern states.

Meet Santa: Father Christmas
For a very merry day out this Christmas, head to ZSL London Zoo and embark on a trip through the animal kingdom to meet Santa.
Nestled cosily in his festive lodge, Santa will be taking time out of his busy schedule to meet the children on his 'nice' list this Christmas, whilst his cheeky elf photographers are on hand to capture the magical moment.
A must-see this Christmas are the Zoo's most festive animals – the reindeers! Visitors can find out more about Santa's favourite creatures at the daily keeper talk, including why Santa's reindeer must all be girls (hint: it's all about the antlers...)
Kids at the Zoo will be able to lend a hand at the daily 'Keeper's Little Helpers' sessions, where they'll be preparing treats and presents for the Zoo's animals – including stuffing stockings for the ring-tailed coatis.
With loads more to do including carousel rides, keeper talks and animal demonstrations, the whole family will be able to enjoy the fun festivities on offer at ZSL London Zoo.
Father Christmas
Traditional yuletide performer, with a seemingly bottomless bag of fun and magic, adored by children and adults alike. Alas, his visits to these shores come but annually, but each year his performances are met with a heady mix of anticipation and excitement, celebration and commercialism. And like all the greats, he is often referred to by a single name: Santa. Unlikely to disappoint.

The secretary of state acts as the official record-keeper of the state of Nevada, and is the keeper of the State Seal of Nevada. The secretary also maintains the official bond of the state treasurer, and serves on the State Board of Prison Commissioners, the State Board of Examiners, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board, the State Records Committee, the State Advisory Committee on Participatory Democracy and the Executive Branch Audit Committee.

Role in the initiative process
Before a petition may be circulated in Nevada it must first be submitted to the secretary of state. The ballot description must abide by the petition guidelines and consist of a 200 words or less description.
Signature Verification
After a petition has been circulated, signatures and all other documents relating to the petition should be submitted to the County Clerk in the respective county in which the petition was circulated.
The County Clerk will do a raw count of all the signatures and forward the number to the secretary of state within four days. If the raw count returns at 100 percent of signatures required to qualify a ballot then the secretary of state will notify the County Clerk to verify the rest of the signatures.
If more than 500 signatures have been submitted, the County Clerk will verify 500 or 5 percent (whichever is greater) signatures. A sponsor of the petition is allowed to witness the verification process. Upon the competition of this process the County Clerk forward the petition and certificate of the signature results to the secretary of state. The County Clerk will also notify the secretary of names that wrote in to be removed from the petition at this time. The entire process must be completed within nine days after the initial notification.
If the random sampling of signatures has between 90 percent or greater, but less than 100 percent the secretary of state will have the County Clerk reexamine the signatures for verification. This means that each signature must be re-verified within 12 days after receiving the order from the secretary of state.
Ballot Question
Once the initiative is qualified for the ballot, the secretary of state must draft the ballot as question. Upon consultation with the Nevada Attorney General the secretary will write the ballot as a question and a short summary of the ballot. The office is also obligated to determined the fiscal impact of the measure with Fiscal Analysis division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau. The secretary then assigns the ballot question a number for the General Election Ballot.
Ballot Summary
The secretary of state may reject any arguments found to be libelous or factually inaccurate. The office also may make arguments more clear and concise as long as the message of the argument is not altered.
Appealing the Secretary of State

Celebs spend $750,000 on toilets
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West reported bought gold-plated toilets
By Chaya Kurtz, Networx
Page Six reports that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have spent $750K on gold-plated toilets for their Bel-Air mansion.
The Los Angeles plumbers who install those toilets better be wearing kid gloves, and also have extensive insurance policies.
They also have purchased a Swarovski-encrusted freezer or refrigerator or something. How does that even work? I can only picture the panicked house cleaner who scrubs off the crystals. [Page Six]
All of this got me wondering about other outrageous toilets. Let's see what we can find on the Interwebs.
Turn any toilet into an expensive-looking toilet by making it looks like it was made by Mac. [eBay]
You could also buy a solid granite toilet, if you want your toilet to match your counter tops. [Aquastone]

text: Become a high flying Jedi pilot from the popular game with this Men's Angry Birds Star Wars Luke Costume. The officially licensed outfit features an orange and white tunic designed to resemble the Red Angry Bird, who plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars version of the game. This Jedi Fighter bird tunic is made out of foam and is an accurate depiction of the video game character. You can also add on to this fun costume by checking out some of the accessories that are sold separately on our site. A good idea would be a Luke Skywalker Star Wars lightsaber because the bird is able to wield the weapon in the game. Once the bird has the lightsaber, he can swing it to inflict more damage to reach the pigs, or he can deflect blaster shots from the Pigtroopers attempting to thwart his attack.

Glad you liked Spicebomb and Midnight in Paris
Have and like the above two. Don't like Fierce.
Thread: Today I Bought: October 2012
Okay, I've gotten too comfortable with the colognes that I've already sampled, so I decided to expand on some new ground and try samples. Shout out to checkitoutone.com ran by the BN member Boomer. I was skeptical at first, but it's completely legit, with great low prices. Highly recommended. Now onto the reviews. I've tested these for the first time. It's been a couple hours, so I'm starting this review with a clean slate.
Abercrombie and Fitch - Fierce
It is easy to dismiss this one because the bottle design (which is a picture of a muscular man's torso), but I'm purely judging by the juice. This one is certainly a citrus scent (with a tiny bit of woodsiness in the background). It's certainly something I think I've smelled before, at a mall where young people hang around. With the citrus notes, I think they are a little more pungent and sour than sweet and fresh. It is a bit masculine but it has a lightness about it though. In the end, I think this wouldn't be bad for a younger audience (under 25, and for those in high school), however at the priceline of $75 for a 3.4 oz, I really think it's a bit pricey for what you are getting and you can certainly do better. I don't think I'll be buying this one, but it's not bad. It's still a good scent overall. It just didn't impress me a lot.
Tentative Rating: 6 out of 10
Tentative Verdict: I'm not particularly urging you to sample this, but if you are curious about this one go for it.
Spicebomb by Viktor and Rolf
I've heard some say this was really good, others say this was really bad. To me, the name describes the scent well. It feels like a bomb full of spices exploded. It's not a loud scent, but far from subtle. Projects well. Perhaps a good spring/fall scent. This one is different and will get you noticed. This does smell like a rack full of spices. Not the bitter or hot spices like pepper or the kind you'll see in Polo/Terre D'Hermes. These spices are more sweet like cinnamon. This fragrance overall has a sweetness about it. It is a warm scent, though it is very dry. I do give a thumbs up on this one for Viktor and Rolf's ability to innovate on this one. I'm not sure if I want to buy this one, but I'm considering it.
Tentative Rating: 7 or 8
Verdict: If you want something unique, definitely give this one a try.
Midnight In Paris - Van Cleef and Arples
Of all three, this one caught my attention the most. This one was the most sophisticated and the one that I will have to test the most. This one is very unique and I'm really thinking about buying this one. It is sweet and powerdy, a little feminine, but definitely something I have smelled before. The title Midnight In Paris is perfect. This is definitely something I imagine for a prom or romantic evening. It feels very magical and surreal. It's really hard to describe this one with words. Just go out and get this one.
Tentative Rating: 8 or 9
Verdict: I beg you to try it.
Some questions to get the conversations going.
1. Do you think I accurately describe these?
2. What is your opinion on these?
3. Most favorite of the 3?
4. Least favorite of the 3?
Glad you liked Spicebomb and Midnight in Paris
Have and like the above two. Don't like Fierce.
Fierce isn't bad, but it's just not for me. Something I would have worn in high school, but now that I'm aware of all of these great smelling colognes out there, Fierce is far from the top of my priority list.
As for Spicebomb and Midnight In Paris, these will probably be the next ones I buy. I really liked them.
MiP is great for the price, it replaced Armani Code when I first got it, and I feel it hits similar notes with Dior Homme/Intense. It has a nice leather to it too.
Fierce and Spicebomb were definitely not my style.
Yes a lot of people liken it to Dior Homme
Love Midnight in Paris. Dont really care for Fierce and I've yet to try spicebomb
Current Top 5:
1. Frederic Malle L'eau d'Hiver
2. Tom Ford Noir de Noir
3. Dior Homme / Dior Homme Intense
4. Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Havane / Pure Malt
5. Creed Aventus / Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Enjoy your choices!
Spicebomb is great new launch.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
No comment on AF Fierce as I've never knowingly smelled it. I own, but don't particularly care for MiP. What I'm finding out is that I don't like tea in my frags. Also, I can't pinpoint why or how, but MiP smells kinda feminine to me. I don't really see the Dior Homme connection either (aside from Polge), but it seems plenty do and plenty enjoy it so, yeah, if it works for you, keep at it. I'll test my bottle a few more times but likely part with it before too long as it seems I never reach for it. On the flip side, I dig the Spicebomb. I don't get good longevity with it, but I do get good projection while it lasts. It's probably just a matter of time until an Intense or Extreme version of Spicebomb comes out, which I'd conceivably be interested in.
Nice reviews.
"I drank what?" -Socrates
Spicebomb is the best of the three .
Spicebomb would be a 10 out of 10, if it weren't for two major flaws
#1 - It is priced at $100 for 3 oz. It's a bit pricey, so I would only recommend this one if you really love it.
#2 - Projection is the problem. For the first hour it's monstrously loud but from hour 2 to 8, it is very close to the skin.
Apply 1-2 sprays and people won't smell it after an hour. Apply more than that and it will overpower people during the first hour.
So that's why I think I'll end up giving it an 8.
Been buying from Boomer's website, Checkitoutone.com for quite awhile. Everything about his business is 100% quality and the shipping time is second to none.

Club competitions
National team competitions
27-19, 17-19, 26-21, 19-18
BCMU Pitesti denied Okapi Aalstar the chance to lock up a place in the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge as they recorded their first win in Group E.
Marcel Jones and Andonte Gennie had 19 points apiece as Pitesti finished 89-77 winners.
Pitesti led from start to finish, scoring the opening six points of the game and taking a commanding 18-4 lead soon after Jones nailed a three-pointer midway through the first quarter.
Okapi kept battling and got the gap down to 29-25 on Larry Anderson's lay-up after they starting the second quarter with a 6-2 spurt.
But the gap would never be less than four again as Pitesti pulled clear once more.
They led 49-38 on Damien Kinloch's jump-shot less than 90 seconds into the third quarter and their biggest lead was 79-63, given to them by Pankracije Barac's lay-up with 3:21 left in the contest.
Kinloch finished with 17 points and nine rebounds for Pitesti with Barac collecting 15 points.
Derek Raivio led Okapi with 17 points while Anderson had 16, Chris Young 12 and Jason Clark 10.
Okapi player Christopher Young"We made too many individual mistakes, they dominated us in offensive rebounds. We made too many errors in the second half, bad passes, turnovers, travelling. You cannot win a game away having 21 turnovers."
Okapi head coach Bradley Dean "The energy made the difference. The energy that Pitesti showed on the court the whole game. It was expected that Pitesti will not go out of this competition without a win, it was the last chance to make it home, so we expected that they will play hard. We saw how good they can play on their home court, we saw the games against Paris and Mons, they are a good team and they deserved the win today."
Pitesti head coach Tudor Costescu"I think we well deserved this win today, we grew from game to game, we raised our basketball level every game so now, it was our moment to win. I am satisfied about the way we managed to control the rhythm , they are a very athletic team and if you give them space to play, it's very hard to win."
Pitesti player Marcel Jones"It was a team effort, we really wanted so much to win this game tonight. We managed to play our game, to control the whole game, not as it happened in Belgium, and that was the key of the game."

Dozens of federal agencies produce maps or charts of one kind or another. To say nothing of all the state and local agencies who also make maps. Their efforts are going to change dramatically. That's because they all depend on what's known as geodetic control supplied by a small office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This office, the National Geodetic Survey, is on a long-term plan to update the reference coordinates it supplies the other agencies. Here with details is the chief geodesist at NOAA, Dr. Dru Smith.

Hup Holland! A Netherlands Bike and Boat Adventure
By Laurie Ellis and Shady Hartshorne
The promise of mellow flat riding interspersed with some cafe-sitting, cheese-eating and canal-cruising worked on my husband, at any rate! And no logistical headaches gear-wise sure appealed to me.
There are many outfits from which to choose if you want to go on an organized bike and barge tour. Cycletours was recommended to us by another cyclist, so after looking over the website, we signed up for the Southern tour. The different companies offer a variety of tours and accommodations - pick the one that's right for you.
A Bunk of One's Own
The cabins were outfitted with bunk beds – in ours, the bottom was a single bed and the top one was wide enough for two (and long enough according to one 6+ ft participant) - with a private bathroom with shower.No lack of heat or hot water, which was good since it was pretty chilly during our week.
Toward the end of our trip, however, it got warm enough that we were able to lounge on the boat's top deck after the day of riding. Since Holland is quite far north (further north than Montreal), it stays light until after 10:00 pm in early June.
How it Worked
Cradle to Grave on a Bike
The Dutch are practically born on bicycles. Everyone rides. It is not unusual to see a baby in a milk crate that has been attached to the handlebars. Whole families are on bikes: one child in a seat in front of the rider, and one in a child seat in back.
There's the wheelbarrow approach as well: a big bucket in the front. Great for hauling cargo and/or kids. And we're not talking new, high-end bikes, here. Most people have what look like English 3-speeds with various baskets and panniers. Very upright heavy tanks, often with flat or mostly flat tires and rusty chains.
On our trip, we had 24-speed Gazelle hybrids - probably 20 gears too many, but more like what most of the participants were used to. Remember, we're talking FLAT riding here! Daily distances went from as few at 18 miles to as many as 35 (give or take). Each tour is different, however, so you should check before signing up to make sure it's the right amount for you.
This was not fast riding by any means, but a basic level of fitness is helpful and will make the trip more enjoyable. Of course, you always have the option to spend the day on the boat if the riding turns out to be more than you bargained for.
Check your ego at the border
You can't get upset when someone old enough to be your grandparent passes you. Remember, they've been riding their whole lives, and you're in a group waiting for the slowest member to catch up!
Yes, you have the option to go ahead on your own, but we found that riding with the group was a big part of the fun. And there are all those turns to watch out for. You don't want to end up in Arnhem when you're supposed to be in Scheveningen.
Bike Paths to Die For
The Netherlands is a land of lush green countryside and canals perfectly suitable for biking. The miles and miles of well-marked, wonderfully maintained and constantly used bike paths crisscross this small country roughly the size of Maryland. You may ride through grassy dunes, or see cows and sheep, horses and ponies grazing peacefully on one side of the path while a canal courses by on the other.
And don't forget the windmills! Majestically rising above the landscape, these act as reminders of an older time. Although still in use, they have largely been replaced by modern pumps and machinery in the never-ending battle the Dutch wage against the water.
Itinerary: A Southern Odyssey
The Southern Tour is one of the most popular routes that Cycletours offers because it is a kind of Greatest Hits of Holland. You get the major cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Hague as well as some cuter, smaller towns like Haarlem, Leiden and Vianen.
The Hague is the center of government and has the grand old buildings to show for it. While there, we went to the Panorama Mesdag, a small museum with a very impressive panorama of the nearby beach resort, Scheveningen, c. 1881. Also in Den Hague is the Mauritshuis, home of the royal art collection with works by Rubens, Vermeer and Rembrandt. If you're looking for something different, visit the Escher museum.
In Haarlem's main square, Grote Markt, we chanced upon a giant comic-art swap meet called Stripdagen (stripdagenhaarlem.nl – the site is only in Dutch, unfortunately), which takes place every year in June. Scores of booths stocked with comic art of all persuasions were mixed together with refreshment stands and a small stage with a rock band.
In contrast to what we came to see as typical Dutch cities, Rotterdam is very modern. It was almost completely destroyed during WWII and then rebuilt with exciting, bold architectural designs. It's not as bike-friendly as other Dutch cities so we didn't get to see as much of it, but we did get to go over the beautiful Erasmus Bridge.
In Delft, we got a tour of De Delftse Pauw, the Delft Peacock pottery factory, including a detailed description of how they make the distinctive blue and white ceramics that made this city famous back in the 17th century. Naturally, there's a shop where visitors who aren't afraid to spend money can purchase a piece of Delft pottery for themselves. You'll find it's not just blue and white!
Also in Delft, we climbed to the top of the 108.75 meter (approximately 360 feet) "New Church" tower, which was built in the 14th century. It is the second highest tower in the Netherlands. The long climb up the narrow, twisting stone stairway leaves you gasping for breath and a bit dizzy, but the view from the top is worth the effort. In case you were wondering, the "Old Church" was built about 100 years earlier, in 1240.
Windmills, Windmills, Windmills!
Of course you expect to see windmills in the Netherlands and we saw plenty of them. We visited not one but two open-air museums where we saw these graceful giants up close and learned about their history and the different ways wind power was harnessed.
You can buy souvenir wooden shoes from the giant wall 'o shoes on display or pick up samples made during the demonstration for about $2.00 each.
The Beach – Brrrrrr!
Just outside of Den Hague we biked through miles of beautiful dunes to a beach resort called Scheveningen. In the short Dutch summer, people flock here to gamble in the casino, eat pickled herring or even go bungee jumping from a giant platform mounted on the end of a long walking pier. When we were there, the weather was chilly and the 40-degree North Sea was not too inviting. The Southern Tour has a number of stops at other, less developed beach areas, so if it's hot when you go, don't forget to pack your "swimming costume" as they say in Holland.
Getting There is More Than Half the Fun
One thing you'll find on a Dutch bike tour is that the scenery you pass as you go from city to city is arguably the best part of the tour. Cows, sheep and horses graze on lush green pastures while great blue herons wait for their meals perched like statues in the canals.
As you ride through the polders, you get a sense of the massive amount of work and ingenuity that has gone into Holland's centuries-old battle with water. Frequently, the bike trail is lower than the canal!
Throughout the riding, the guide keeps careful tabs on the group to make sure no one gets left behind. Each day a new "sweep" is chosen from among the group to ride at the tail end of the group with a bright orange flag that can be seen by the guide so he or she knows when it's ok to move on.
Our one complaint about the trip had to do with the size of the group. Our trip had 24 participants and only one guide. Cycletours adds a second guide for parties of 25 or more, but we think they should lower that number.
A Trip to Take Again (and Again)
Aside from this minor complaint, we wholeheartedly recommend a boat/bike trip to the Netherlands. By the end of the week we were ready to sign on for another tour. The scenery is amazing, the biking is fun, and the cheese is absolutely fantastic. Riding through small towns that are off the usual route was a highlight – especially when we got to talk to the mayor of Abcoude!
Don't forget, though, this IS a group activity and you never know what the group dynamic will be. Some groups probably work together better than others. Be ready for anything and take it in stride. After all, everyone is there to have a good time.

"Overall, our tour in Spain was very enjoyable, and well planned and executed. Our private tour of the Alhambra was excellent. Virginia, tour guide for royal palace ruins outside of Cordoba, was also excellent. In Seville, we went to the Flamenco Show/dinner, and the Flamenco was outstanding!"

"My husband and I took a 3 week vacation to southern Europe and North Africa and had a great time. All the guides were very knowledgeable and bent over backwards to accommodate us. The arrangements made by Kensington went off without a hitch. This is our second trip with Kensington (we went to Peru in 2009) and we will certainly book with them again."

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."
