What a great idea and such a beautiful environment. I've been letting things slide on the cycling front aswell. I used to live on the other side of the city, where, just outside, was such an amazing landscape to cycle through. I always took my camera with me and it was so relaxing.
Ever since I moved, I haven't gone on many bikerides anymore. It's such a shame, but the less appealing surroundings really put a damper on the whole idea.
