Mountain bike toernee II in Paramaribo

Geplaatst op: zaterdag 31 januari 2009

Een week na zijn eerste mountain bike tour in Paramaribo richting oost besloot Cor Denneman deze morgen naar het westen af te reizen met zijn Gazelle mountain bike.

Vooral op de steile Wijdenbosch-brug was het voor hem echt afzien.

One week after my bike maidentour in Paramaribo to the east I decided this morning to take my second tour to the west.

Interested to see some pictures of cosy Paramaribo ?
Sail to :"Photography".

First of all I went to `Fietsen in Suriname` at the Grote Combéweg, next to my favourite salad restaurant `Zus en Zo` and nearby our `Headquarters Grote Combéweg 25-27`(of our contactperson mr. Albert D. Soedamah). Founding father of `Fietsen in Suriname` Etto Paulus was not there but his representative John Verwey was so kind to change the steer position of my Gazelle Supercharged mountain bike. John told me about his `Fietstours, MTB tours & plantage-tochten` as an entrepreneur. I discussed with him an eventual future collaboration concerning MTB tours on `Landgoed Groot Mariënbosch`, from the still overwhelming Commewijne River upto the Atlantic Ocean including the famous leatherbacks on the beach in our `back yard`.

After that short session I went to the Wijdenbosch Bridge. Like a steep mountain. There is a mountain bike for... Much higher on the bike that I ever thought before. But I did it anyway. Pffff...

Than I took the trip to the `Winchesterstraat`, where the office of Danpaati Lodge is located and where my associate Marije van Zomeren has lived before. I visited a very special church and was impressed by so many old building during my bike trip. I stopped at `Hermitage Mall` for my orientation tour and lateron I had my early and very tasty dinner at indonesian restaurant Jawa.

At the end of my 6 hours tour I deserved my weekly desert: Fernandes icecream at Torarica next door... There I have met our notary Diepak Chitoe with a part of his big family. As a tribute to this nice character I made two representative pictures...
