The HIVE Tour - Episode 48b - Cycling SE Le Mans

Ready for the rest of my riverside cycling? Let's go.

Do you dream of having a boat at Le Mans? Well, if you ever manage this you'll be able to slide it in the water here:

Fishing is also an option:

It's a marvellous day that finally allows me to enjoy summer after so many bad ones:

Not that the temperatures are necessarily related to summer standards but I've dropped mine a lot lately. Besides, its better than a heatwave in any case.

I've just arrived at the local Kayak club:

Consider the members as lucky guys to be able to go sporting at this location:

Not that the footballers are less lucky to be able to do their thing a few meters away:

Huisne river snakes around creating these eye candies:

As for me, I'm more than happy to cycle around here after bathing my eyes in the above beauty so I follow this track:

Which leads me to this tiny bridge:

And later to even more eye soothing beauties:

At this point Le Mans comes to an end:

Not my cycling though so I continue SE on the Epau bridge:

Which offers a pretty nice view I must admit:

And here's where Arch de la Nature park begins:

It's a large recreational area that goes way beyond this football field which is actually just a tiny part of the whole thing. So I follow this path to explore the rest:

One path leads to another:

One open field leads to another:

Peace and serenity generously offered by the element of water:

It feels to me like I'd spend a significant amount of my time here if I would ever reside at Le Mans:

On my way back West to my place in the city I make a stop at this river lock:

And later this next one:

It's just regular stuff here but in the absence of rivers due to my Athenian background I find them interesting to watch the change of the water flow.

Here's is a video with clips of my whole cycling day:

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

See you on the next one!
