CYCLING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
This spring my older brother and I left the busy city and spent a long weekend cycling
in the countryside. Our average speed was only around 14 kph, but that didn't matter. We
hadn't come to break any speed records, or to get lit and healthy. All we wanted was some
fresh air and a break from schoolwork. My bike only once went more than 30 kph, and that
was when I raced my brother down the only hill on our route. We really enjoyed cycling
along flat, traffic-free country paths. There was plenty of spring sunshine, but it was quite
cold, especially in the mornings. We didn't mind, though - and we soon warmed up as we
rode along. Our only problem was when my brakes started making a terrible noise, but I
didn't mind as it gave us an excuse to visit a café while a helpful bike mechanic had a look
at it. That was one of the best things about our route: every few kilometers there was a
village where we could find everything we needed. All the local people were really friendly,
too. However, most places we stopped at served chips with all the meals, which soon got
fairly boring. One night we were woken at 4 a.m. by a group of rugby fans singing loudly
in the hotel corridor. We were tired and bad-tempered when we set off the next morning and
very nearly got lost, but soon felt more cheerful when the sun came out. That's what I like
about cycling - it's simple and it's fun. If you're looking for a short break that’s active and
cheap, then cycling is a great choice!
