I’ve also biked Beijing, but nothing will ever top biking on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands off the coast of Ireland. It rained on and off all day, but it was so windy that we dried off as quickly as we were soaked. We explored Celtic forts over 700 years old, had beautiful views of the coast, saw seal colonies, cute stray dogs and cats, and lots of really old farms. It was the bike ride that made me decide to bike in every foreign country I ever visit.

I rode up Mt Batur in Bali! Beautiful views, but not easy riding on the volcanic gravel (I have the scars to prove it!)

Also, I rode to the shop yesterday to buy some milk (which wasn’t as exciting but at least I didn’t fall off!)

Last year I went a four-day two-wheeled safari from Tafika, a remote bush camp on the South Luangwa River, in Zambia and it was the best holiday I have ever had. We ride mountain bikes on trails through national parks (accompanied by an armed guard) and we saw lots of elephants, buffalos, zebras and pukus. Luckily our guard didn’t have to shoot anything (or anyone!).

I too have ridden around Yosemeite and that is quite magical, too!

Ride on!

Thanks Andy.

I checked it out on that internet thing and it does look wonderful. I don’t know about doing all 900 kilometres of it, though. My bum is sore just thinking about it.

cheers

Hi Brian

Great topic! I love cycling and earlier this year i did the Munda Biddi Trail in Western Australia (south of Perth). It was AMAZING! The trail passes through scenic river valleys on bush tracks, firebreaks and disused railway formations. You MUST do it sometime!

keep up the good work

Andy
