Tuesdays ride starts in Harderwijk and first heads to Putten.  We stopped at a memorial for the 600 men who were removed from the city by the Nazi's in WWII.  Almost all of them died in concentration camps.  We then biked to Amersfoort where we had lunch and spent some time sight-seeing.  OF interest was the bike parking garage located under a store.  Two tier bike parking.  The large pump station converted from steam power to electricity in 1983.  From there we continued to a fishing village (Spakenburg).  There was no formal or guided walk so Rick and I went by ourselves.  While the town was very small, the number of boats in the harbor was quite spectacular.
