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!
