Very Interesting! I do enjoy a good biking holiday.
It’s frustrating living in America where it is so much harder to find a place that you could have a nice biking holiday..most cities here are not biker friendly (unless you consider a Harley a bike!) but perhaps with the rising cost of gas this will eventually change.
My husband and I used to love biking although we never took a biking holiday. Alas, with my rheumatoid arthritis now I can no longer enjoy the sport but I love seeing and hearing of other’s adventures.
I wish we had places like these in my country. We probably have, need to look. My sister would adore a biking adventure.
Wow, what a great guide for biking destinations! Thank you so much for sharing! I definitely want to do this with my husband. 🙂
This sounds like so much fun. Being out in the open air and taking time to enjoy the surroundings. Thank you so much for sharing these suggestions
Just amazing variety in the U.K. for cyclists. Some years ago, we did cycle trails, Cornwall being a favourite while our children were in their teens. Gone are the days. Do it as much as you can, while you can, because, like us, the stamina will soon wane with age and it will at least leave great memeries,
