And hired an ebike, which I totally failed to ride up to the Covadonga lakes. It's a long, steep climb, far harder than I realised...

Did it run out of battery? I know its a decent climb but its not that long like a Mount Teide or something

Just booked a week in Annecy in the French Alps, we don’t fancy flying so we’re going to drive down and stop overnight both legs. First decent holiday that we’ve planned since before Covid. There is a fantastic cycle trail there so we will hire bikes.

We went there on a family caravan trip a few years ago (quite a few!). I took my bike with me, and had a few enjoyable rides, but couldn't get away on it as much as I would have liked, as my wife has never been a bike rider, and the kids weren't too interested on that trip, and were still a bit young for decent rides anyhow.

I did manage one afternoon ride circuit around the lake.

Yes! Go on them.

Doing that just now.
Camper, bikes and Yorkshire.
Took on the Cols de Halifax today.

Really don't like cyclists in Yorkshire. Well it seems that way to me.

Can retired people claim to be on holiday?

As long as I breathe, I attack.
on countdown now for a week in Scratby in a maisonette aka mini house which is cheaper than a caravan for some reason , already looking at next years hols because if we dont start booking soon things will be snapped up,Cant believe how much prices have gone up ! We like static van holidays too and try to get a holiday close to the beach .

People are still very wary about going abroad, both because of possibly needing tests before being allowed in to destination, and because of airport delays, so UK holidays are much more in demand than usual I think.

Yes I think you are correct. I need to go to Portugal for a couple / three days but really can't be ar--d with all the mither of airports at both ends / flight cancellations etc.
