Yesterday I embarked on what has somehow become a 'weekly' thing - a bike ride on a Friday afternoon. A week ago, it was as a two-man, and yesterday was a triad threesome (three Chinese people, if you can't guess). However, there were no guns involved and no violence, only some struggling through footpath barriers and the near-death experience of being overtaken by an 18-wheeler. The three of us enjoyed a solid two and a half hour, 25km ride to Lymm and back via roads and the Trans-Penine Trail, with a short stop-off to see a friend during his (3:30pm?!) lunch break. Thankfully the sun was out and a mid-cycle ice cream was definitely needed, at least for one of us.
I think I love a bike ride simply because it is exercise and although it is not always the most strenuous, it's definitely enjoyable, especially with some scenic country routes. Take a few friends and you can take all the time you want cruising down country lanes and taking in the great countryside views. It's fair to say the UK is quite good-looking.
Any more for any more?
