A bit of cycling never hurt anybody

 Especially in a country with such dense beauty like Greece. Sunny but cold early morning, the mist is just gone and I make my way out. Looks like I had a much better sleep than this cat:

The HIVE Tour - Episode 48 - Cycling up to Arche de la Nature park SE of Le Mans

I have a nice day waiting for me, I am at South end of Le Mans and I am given the choice between 4 bicycles to ride around the city. I consider myself a lucky guy and I pick the following one:

Lovely day for an activity like this so this time I explore the area South East of Heeze to see what is what. Soon I find myself leaving behind the local cute house and cycle in the woods where I find these lovely peaceful donkeys:

The route through the trees is amazing as these tall guys keep you under their shade through the whole trail.

At the end of it I find myself in this soothing open space:

Behind me you can see the trail that led me to this point:

It's such a nice route passing by those corn fields:

Obviously as you can see I don't have the proper bike for such stuff but that's definition of "1st world problem". Same goes for the following dilemma:

Left or right?

The tent you see in the following image is where one of the local groups prepares their own stuff for the upcoming "Brabantse dag":

(Read part 3 about it or google it. Google knows it all😉)

As a bonus I got a scenic sky overlooking the local beauty:

The area around the local sports club looked like a dessert after a nice lunch:

Wanna ride with me? Let's go:

Till the next one 😉

What a lovely seen to wake up in the view of the above rose lying on the lawn. Not that the king of Heeze doesn't beautify the same lawn as well:

It's a sunny yet cold morning flirting with 10C but I can't resist the pool anymore so I decide to jump in the water. The result of this idea is obvious by looking at my nipples😅

As the day gets better a walk around looks like an even better idea.

Cuteness goes on:

I decide later that I deserve a nice lunch so I treat myself accordingly as a cook:

It's interesting to see how a different oven can make the same food made by the same hands taste so differently. Especially the skin. Loved it.

You should be asking me how come I haven't shared cycling details as I am already several days over Dutch soil.

Well, finally time to cycle:

I am starting from Heeze heading East all the way through the forest.

And I love it!

Is this how they do the bins in Netherlands? Cool!

Beef meeting on the way:

Cycling back through the forest again:

A superb house I saw on my way back:

Dead tree still standing among its younger comrades:

Final forest shot:

Fancy a video? There you go:
