Giro de Haspengouw

Post by henk »

Hello,

Because the Italian Giro will finish next Monday at Middelburg, they pronounce the month may as the biking month. Because of that we went biking at Belgium in the aria of Haspengouw. We stayed at a B&B just 2,5 km from Jos. We paid him a visit on the first night. Thanks again Jos for the nice treat. It was nice to meet you and the family again.
We had two rides. It was windy and the road was going up and down. It's a lovely scenery, but it was hard work on the pedals. The last day I was, and still am ill. (No Jos, not the 24 hours flue) So we visit St. Truiden and went home from there.

Found some interesting things over there.

Some folks will do anything to have a Fordson.
I even notice an old farmer driving a Ford 8N in the colors bleu and grey. Did not take a picture from him.

I also notice that Ford did not use only spare parts unit on tractors but also on cars.

Kind regards, Henk

Folks,
It was a realy nice evening, except ...

I realy had to pull Henk away from my narrow and standard dexta. I think Henk is getting the "Brian caprices". He wanted to take them to Zeeland. :shock:

My dexta has 32 Horse power, but a donkey behind the steering wheel.
