30 minutes in the life of my bike riders

That gorgeous Saturday morning we decided to go to the mountains for a picnic. A picnic in the park was what you asked for. Time together. Just us after a busy and noisy week. The sun was shining, so I agreed. We quickly made sandwiches, packed fruit, and some treats. We all jumped in the car.

You remembered that I had said we could hire bikes in Bright, and asked if we could go for a ride after the picnic. I loved the idea. So we did. It was only for an hour, but it was energising. The cool mountain air blew into our face while the warm spring sun warmed our backs. You pedaled hard and fast. I did my best to keep up as I pedaled for two and rode a tandem bike. I wobbled and wibbled down the path as you did loops to see what was taking so long. Then we paused and I changed bikes. You still did loops and I smiled. I love all of your energy.

We had 30 minutes to get back and this is what I captured.

Looks like such a fun and energizing day! Beautiful images! I love the first image where you're on the bike. I have no idea how you did that one...I would have fallen off :)

I love these, Cindy. The black and white with the bike against the grass is stunning! What a fun 30 minutes. I'm so bad at riding bikes, but this looks fun to me.

Great pictures - I love the picture with the autumn colors in it where they are cycling along the road. That is just gorgeous. Also the picture of the long road ahead - I love the depth of that picture. It looks like you had a whole lot of fun.
