I have many friends in Europe whose favourite hobby is mountain biking. They like nothing better than taking off, alone or with family or friends on their Full Suspension Mountain Bikes and savouring the scenery and countryside of Europe.
Of course, they can only pack the necessities, so they are limited in their creature comforts, but this does not deter those who are immersed in this life. A simple tent, some basic shared cooking utensils and the vital sleeping bag. They are just happy to be at one with Mother Nature and can do without the luxuries of everyday life.
It is impressive how many miles they can cover per day, seemingly effortlessly. Up mountains, around lakes and through the small and often unexplored roads of each country. They really get to see a side of the country that those in cars or campervans never get to see. In short, life is at a totally different pace.
Instead of piling on the pounds on a traditional beach holiday, they hone their body and their mind. Instead of taking a vacation in a polluted city, they are in the wilds, breathing in pure air and drinking from streams.
There are so many beautiful countries to choose from for your cycle holiday. France, Germany, Slovenia, Hungary. Each has its own attraction and different countryside.
