Because

we are not sure yet, we cycled another route today. The well-known to Maastricht, crossing 'de Groene Loper', the park on the roof of the tunneled motorway and back home via Meerssen.

We're not sure yet if we're going to do the Festive500. Whether it will work, whether we will not be overwhelmed by laziness and procrastination. A friend of mine didn't make it to her challenge last year because of wind and rain.
There will be a lot of wind and rain next week.

Anyway, I wanted to get my mileage to 6000K. If we prefer to go bench watching under a warm blanket for the last week of 2022, then at least I have accomplished something.
