Join us for a bike ride

Picture
Sara and I are not avid bike riders, far from it.  But we did some riding last summer and one location  through the Sumava National Park, bordering Germany / Bohemia, inspired the accompanying picture.   Let me describe.

So, imagine a calm summer afternoon, riding bicycles like kids through an old spruce forest. Warm sun on your shoulders, cooled by a slight breeze on your face with comforting scent of pine blended with decomposing mulch. spectacular  green spruce limbs tipped with gold reaching out from the sides and overhead.  A carpet of ferns with pine bark and tree trunks border the trail you ride on, accompanied by the hypnotic whirr of bike tires upon pavement.  

No doubt, this was a fairy-tale land and experience.  Looking for Hansel and Gretel around the next bend was not out of the question.  Or, maybe Little Red Riding Hood, is more appropriate?
