CYCLING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Have you ever been cycling? This spring my elder 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 fit 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 morning. 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 cafe while a helpful bike
mechanic had a look at it.
That was one of the best things about our route: every few kilometres 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 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!
