The weather was super nice today and Sunday. So I rode in the direction of Baiyangdian in the afternoon. Although there was a bit of a headwind in the past, the wind was not strong, about three levels, and it could be topped, which basically did not affect the speed.
Starting from the urban area, go all the way to the northwest, Benlianggou, turn to the northeast, and go along the Qianli embankment to the direction of Qijianfang. Ride on the embankment while admiring the large expanse of ice in Baiyangdian Lake. Most of the snow in Yodomari has not melted. The brown-yellow reed fields, the white ice, and the blue sky are refreshing. Occasionally, there is an ice rink opened by people on the edge of the lake, and there are adults and children playing with ice skating cars.
After seven rooms and continuing north, not far away, I found three people sitting on the side of the roadside bridge, and three mountain bikes parked across the road. There was steam in the eyepiece, and it was not very clear, so I thought it was three young and middle-aged travelers. When I stopped the car and took a closer look, what a good guy - it turned out to be an old man!
I stopped to rest and talk to them. I learned that the three are all senior travelers and have been riding for more than ten years. The first one on the right is the youngest, 79, the middle is 80, and the first on the left is 84! He is a little older, but his body is a bargain: Last spring, they rode in the Qingxi Tomb and Langya Mountain! They all started in the morning and evening! Okay! The one-way trip is more than 120 kilometers! Among them, there is a big uphill slope of nearly 30 kilometers! I dare not challenge it anyway!
I praised the three uncles for their health and longevity! Unexpectedly, the uncle on the right said: "I am nothing, my wife is ninety-nine, and she can eat and drink more than me!"
After a while, they set off again, saying that they were riding to the gate of Zaolin Village, and I wished them a smooth journey, waving goodbye to them!
