breach the hill

I really respect those people that bike on hilly trails. I am personally terrible at biking uphill.

Give me downhill biking. Not the harsh mountain stuff, just a gentle slope.

Ooo! I couldn't do it either, it's been years since I've been on a bike.
A great shot e, you can really get a feel how steep the hill is.

As for me, I am a bit of a lazy bone and would prefer a walk along the river...
Like the shades of green and how lush the nature there is.

Me too, e., here in Friesland everything is as flat as a dime. I have to bike against the wind which can be as exhaustive as uphill. I prefer the bus or car, but after the biking it gives a fit sensation, your movements are smoother and it seems as if it didn't cost you energy but as if the biking gave you more energy :). I find the picture beautiful, with the colors of the bushes and the yellow of the shirt!
