Biking along side a rowing race just south of Amsterdam, July 2
Just south of the city is a 2km long rowing venue, called the Bos Baan because it's a track (baan) along the Amsterdam Bos (forest). From what I'm told, it was built (or shall I say dug...you don't build a hole) in the 1930s to create jobs. Nothing stimulates an economy like a big digging project. Probably due to canals and rivers everywhere, rowing is a pretty popular sport here.
