CYCLISTS' REUNION - SEPT 2012 |
|
| This year's cyclists' reunion brought us along beautiful Lake Constance and the Rhine, skirting the Swiss-German border. It was an international bunch of cyclists we'd met on the road over the years. Times have changed, but kiddy trailers and babies on the way were no hindrance to having a great weekend. The route was chosen accordingly, with picnic spots replacing gradients for a relaxed get-together. | |

| Accommodation was at Bolderhof, an organic farm with cereals, vegetables, dairy cows and buffaloes. As usual, it was a laid-back sleep-in-the-barn deal, with dinner and breakfast thrown in. |
