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. |
