Biking from Tai Wai to Tai Po

Saturday, beautiful Saturday!

Today we just announced that we were going biking and if anyone wanted they could come along. Well at 9am we went downstairs to find the Baldwins, the Woolseys, the Newells, the Halversens, and Emily and her sister Rebecca.

Left to right - Newells, Elder Halversen, Emily and Rebecca, Dew, Shirl, Woolseys and Baldwins.

So off we went to catch the 170 bus. It appeared just as we approached, so it was a short sprint, but luckily we had a good driver who saw us coming and waited patiently. As we all got settled on the top deck of the bus we discovered that Sister Halversen had second thoughts and turned back, but the rest of us were a go.


Elder and Sister Baldwin

We took the bus, then caught the MTR out to the bike rental. After some creative language we all got bikes and off we went. My bike had a small problem, it would only go in one gear, so Dew turned back to make an exchange. But he caught up quickly.

Elder and Sister Woolsey

The weather could not have been better. It started out blue skies and then the overcast came, and we had a nice cool breeze. It was a lovely ride.

At the end of the line we parted ways, Emily and her sister headed for Big Buddha and more action, we headed for Sha Tin and TripleO. After lunch it was another parting of the ways, the Baldwins and Woolseys headed for the jade market and the rest of us headed home to do a little grocery shopping and well deserved rests. Great day!
