The first ever biking spree for diplomats in The Hague was held on Saturday, 5 November 2016. The group of participants was made up of cyclists of all ages, first-time riders/new riders as well as veteran riders. Participating were Ambassadors, diplomats, from Bangladesh, Iraq, Malaysia, Mexico, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Israel, Indonesia, Belgium, Turkey, USA, Italy and Japan.

The objectives of the ride were to promote inclusion and to provide an opportunity for networking; all while having fun and exploring The Hague’s beautiful environment.
The biking spree departed from Carlton Ambassador Hotel, travelled in the direction of Wassenaar, and returned via Haagse Bos to end at the Buitenhof in the city centre. Along the way, stops were made at interesting sights and group photos were taken at the rear of the Palace Huis ten Bosch and a nearby lake.
Following the bike ride, all participants were invited for lunch at a renowned restaurant in the center of The Hague. Diplomat magazine appreciates the participation of all attendees and their contributions to making this a very successful event. We hope that it will become an annual event.
