Cycling in Holland
With our chosen bikes we were ready for a week of adventure cycling along the wonderful flat trails that Holland had to offer us.
We were keen to get out into the sunshine for another
cycle ride. This time we opted for the 30km route. We all set off very
enthusiastically, the first part of the route cycling through beautiful woodlands and
farmland. It was very peaceful, taking in the fresh air and great views along
the way. Having worked up a thirst, we stopped in a cafe in a village in which
we admired the smart, well-kept houses.
An ice cream treat was always well deserved.
A fabulous afternoon was spent on the floating inflatable
obstacle course on the lake. It was great fun for everyone. Roy managed to
avoid falling into the water and getting submerged, and Keiran negotiated the
course like a professional. Iain was a little more reserved but was really glad
he had challenged himself to do it.
Once again we climbed onto our bikes for the longest
cycle of the week….an incredible 47km route. We set off at a good
pace, again taking it in turns to be the leader, which everyone enjoyed doing.
The scenery was similar to that of previous days, we had a few hills and more
of the beautiful paths winding through woodland and lakes.
