点评:This was one of the best things we have ever done, and I say that in spite of the fact that I was exhausted and my butt hurt like hell (should have chosen the padded seat) every single evening after the ride. Our guide, Howard, was as helpful as could be, and it was a lot of fun later in the trip to meet up with him on a couple of occasions. Great guy, funny and full of information. The biking, the accomodations, the assistance, the countryside, the architecure, the little encounters with locals, and the meals we chose were absolutely worth the trip. It has taken me a year and a half to write this review, but only because I'm lazy. Gearing up for another trip this spring reminded me that it's unfair not to tell people how worthwhile a self-guided bike tour with Active England is. My only bit of advice is to leave the hubris at home. We are both distance runners and figured it would be a breeze to bike 45 miles a day. It was not. We had to walk up some of the steeper hills. Either get in bike shape before you go or choose electric bikes. PS--It says we went in February because that was my least recent option. We actually went in summer 2022.
翻译:这是我们做过的最好的事情之一,尽管事实上我在骑行后的每个晚上都筋疲力尽,屁股疼得要命(应该选择软垫座椅),但我还是这么说。我们的导游霍华德非常乐于助人,在旅途的后期与他见面几次非常有趣。很棒的人,有趣而且信息丰富。骑自行车、住宿、协助、乡村、建筑、与当地人的小接触以及我们选择的饭菜绝对值得一游。我花了一年半的时间来写这篇评论,但只是因为我很懒。今年春天准备另一次旅行提醒我,不告诉人们参加 Active England 的自助自行车之旅是多么值得,这是不公平的。我唯一的建议就是把傲慢留在家里。我们都是长跑运动员,认为每天骑自行车 45 英里是轻而易举的事。不是。我们必须爬上一些陡峭的山坡。要么在出发前做好自行车锻炼,要么选择电动自行车。 PS--它说我们是二月份去的,因为那是我最近的选择。我们实际上是 2022 年夏天去的。
