♬ Over the hills and through the woods ♬

We knew that bike riding was hoping to be the primary activity for this trip, but we told ourselves that we would only make 1 post on bike riding.

Well, we were wrong. First, before we even got on our bikes, we noticed the multitude of bikes here - at almost every campsite, then the e-bike rentals, and the free loaner bike stations. People come here to ride bikes.

Yes, the beach is just across the road and there are plenty of beach goers. And there are the people that fish. But the largest activity here seems to be the 28 miles of paved biking and walking trails. But that is not the reason for this post.

We got off the paved trails and took an "off-road" trail. The trail was not marked but it was obviously maintained for this purpose. One trail turned out to be more than a dozen trails - and we tried to hit them all.

The trails weave between trees and zig zag around. A little bumpy in some places and sandy in others. Sometimes you need to duck below the branches. It was an adventure. A very safe adventure to be sure. But My Lovely could not get enough. "Take this trail to the left" she'd say. She didn't actually giggle, but I could hear a giggle in everything she said.

The trip was better than we expected it would be; and it was better because the riding was better than we expected - and that was before we got into the woods.

The woods riding - the highlight to the trip.

My Lovely's excitement - the highlight to my life.

From Amy....Yes!! That was way too much fun! First time we've ever done any riding like that, We loved it! The videos don't really do it justice...the little dips and rolls and twists...so much fun!Okumaya devam et
