Before the horrible back pain in my teens at the weekends a group of us kids would take our bicycles out and cycle to the Curragh which is a beautiful place during the summer. We would cycle for hours and hours, we used to go orientering there too, shooing the sheep as we went.
I too loved my bicycle, i loved the fresh air, i loved the down hill journeys where you could just go wow.... lovely

I guess this world we share is lovely in parts. I've loved the many places i've been to in the US, especially Colorado's mountains, gorges, cannons etc.
Yoesmite Nat Park is just pure Wow, I want to go back there and next on our list is Yellowstone Nat Park, I've no idea when I'm going to get there. I could imagine cycling around all these lovely places but not a chance. I think if i were to get on a bicycle now i'd have forgotten how!.
