Biking from Tai Wai to Tai Po - Senior Couples

The countdown is down to Four days and counting.

Beautiful bridge at Sha Tin

Today we scheduled one last bike ride. And so at 9am we found that the Woolsey’s, Gibbon’s, Erikson’s and the Halversen’s were all willing to go with us.
A bus ride to Sha Tin, and a short MTR ride got us to Tai Wai where we rented bikes. We had several very nervous sisters who hadn’t been on bikes in a very long time, but it was "just like riding a bike" it all came back quickly.

Along the way we had beautiful spring flowers which off set the foggy skies. The river was full of sculling boats, and even a couple of dragon boats out practicing for the next Dragon Boat races. It was an absolutely wonderful temperature for biking and we loved it.


After a quick lunch in Tai Po Market, at...McDonalds where we saw "Crew" who remembered us, we took the bus towards the Brass Market. By the time we crossed over the mountain we found where the sun had been hiding, and the temperature was much higher. We shopped a bit, and then headed for Yuen Long and our favorite bus ride home, and back into the fog again.

What a great way to spend our last Saturday in Hong Kong!
