You ride on the pavement, or dirt?

Strictly on the road, there are some lovely quiet lanes around here.

30 to 40 miles? on a bike? I get tired driving that far! I get winded rolling over in bed sometimes lol

Well the first time I re-started cycling after a long lay-off I managed 2 1/2 miles! It's amazing how quickly that improves though...

I just got my mountain bike out and cleaned up. I can handle about six miles right now

We didn't get out much over the winter, as the weather was grim. It's definitely improving now, though not to the point where shorts are appropriate quite yet...

I'm trying to time it so its 70 degrees when I head out, but its usually 85 by the time I get home. I just head out into the desert, headed for a volcanic spire 4 miles away

As you can probably imagine it's usually a lot cooler than that here

Yeah, I can imagine In another month I'll have to worry about rattlesnakes, which is always fun

Britain is remarkably free of poisonous creatures. Except in government...

I can imagine. In Germany we lived in a village, and it was so peaceful and lovely away from the main routes. Here in the States it is different.

now I feel so provincial, having lived in Texas most of my life lol

but I have been to Canada, if that counts for anything

Here, we have the Mojave Green, which is an aggressive rattlesnake. I saw two last summer, and they will come after you, lol.

 

[barefootgirl69]

Everyone is different lol.
I was a military brat and spouse.

The only vaguely poisonous snakes we have are adders, which are easy to spot as they're all under contract to the BBC to appear in wildlife programmes!

We've not cycled in Germany or the US yet, though we've done long trips in various European countries.

We never went as far as you, but I do miss the beauty of the countryside. I'll be looking at pictures later lol

lol, I love the fact that in Europe, I could go distance X, and see multiple countries

or, I could go distance X, and still be in Texas, and usually driving by the same line of fencing

It sounds like a lovely way to spend a weekend, and clear your mind.

You don't need to right now, woman! Rest and heal. H might go an extra kilometer for you!

It will be - and when Numi stops snuffling we'll no doubt find some other ways to clear our minds!
