小編的話：周末，騎上單車離開喧囂的城市,回歸大自然盡情地呼吸新鮮空氣。登山、騎行、露營、篝火、游泳……每一樣都那么新鮮有趣。讀著讀著，已經(jīng)按捺不住一顆想要出游的心了。

Last weekend I took part in a cycle and camping adventure outside of Ningbo. A group of 35-40 cyclists of all shapes and sizes with all shapes and sizes of bikes too. We set off at 10am and cycled south out of the city on the main roads and then onto country roads heading towards Xiang Xi village. （將近40人的大隊，啟程啦?。?

On the first morning, in bright sunshine, we went about 10kms, to a small town, where we had a quick stop to eat energy snacks and drink water. I had an ice cream! Then we began the ascent of the mountain, which is roughly 350 metres above sea level. （騎行中沐浴早晨明媚的陽光，休憩時感受唇齒間冰淇淋的酷爽。）

Thankfully there was a support vehicle to help people who found the climb too difficult.  It was hot but I did manage about half of the climb until I had no energy left in my legs and my Dad had to push my bike up the rest of the hill. Once we made it to the top we met up with the rest of the group and had big banana and fruit bread sandwiches and energy drink. （終于徒步到山頂，滿滿的成就感令人欣喜。）

The second day we had to do another hill climb, which was difficult but we did get to go down a really steep, fast hill before heading back to the city. My brother and me were the only two children on the trip and were given the job of building and looking after a big campfire. We had to keep searching for wood. My dad and brother cycled into the village and found some wood which was given to them for free. We cooked chicken wraps and soup and then slept really well (not!) in sleeping bags. （篝火、烤肉、露營……體驗山野間的樂趣與閑逸。）

Overall, we cycled 75-80 kms this weekend. I managed to do all of it except for about half of each of the two hill climbs. I saw a bit of life in the countryside different to the city. （短短兩天，80公里路，與城市相比，山中真是別有滋味。）
