[riding travel notes] play in Yiai lake and visit the red cliff on the east slope

The idea of riding Huangzhou love Lake originated from a beautiful legend: once, when Zhao Zhen of song Renzong went to the south to observe the people’s feelings, passed by Huangzhou and visited the East Lake, he met a beautiful girl who looked like a peach blossom, and performed a touching and sentimental love tragedy and comedy.

Later, song Renzong was forced to leave the girl in Huangzhou under the pressure of the royal family and nobles.

When he returned to the capital, the girl fell in love with each other and committed suicide in the lake, When Renzong learned about it, he was very sad.

He said: the East Lake in Huangzhou has my legacy.

Let’s call it the legacy lake.

Whether this story is true or not is impossible to verify, but I would rather believe it is true, so I am full of expectation for this trip to Huangzhou.

Although the event had been held for several periods, I was still very excited about the upcoming event.

On November 15, 2015, I woke up early before 6 o’clock.

Since I couldn’t sleep, I just got up, washed, dressed and equipped, and wheeled out…

When I went to the Pearl Square, I found that all my friends had arrived.

I simply made arrangements for the event.

Whispers were the leader of the ride.

I was still responsible for the closure, and put forward some safety precautions, and then officially started, Towards the place where beautiful love is nurtured – Huangzhou love lake.

Although she was a good swimmer, she was still a novice in cycling.

As soon as the team passed through the Phoenix Mountain tunnel, she was left far behind and gradually disconnected from the team.

I was the only one who followed her closely.

Because I couldn’t see the route of the people in front, I had to take her to the first rest spot in the reservation, Yang Ye, according to my familiar route.

Just walked near the meat factory, the phone rang.

It was whispered by the leader.

It turned out that they saw that we didn’t keep up and were anxiously waiting for us near the Huangshi bridge! This phone call made me very glad that my companions didn’t keep up and could take the initiative to stop and wait, which shows that our team is becoming more mature and more united! I asked Fengyu to lead us on the new road from Huahu to Yangye.

Sister Yang and I continued on the old road and met at Yangye intersection.

Sister Yang and I were bumpy and hurried along the way.

We arrived at the meeting point shortly after.

As soon as we were ready to drink, the army followed us.

As soon as we met, there was no sense of complaint.

Some asked sister Yang with concern: are you tired and do you care? After a short rest, continue on your way.

From here on, the journey was smooth, the road was easy, the team was tight, and everyone was in sight.

This was due to the wind of the leader and the rhythm was well pressed; The performance of the old team members was also commendable.

Liangliang, leopard and Lao Li took great pains to teach the two new ladies riding skills; Chicken soup, on the other hand, gave full play to his verbal skills, laughing at jokes and baggage one by one along the way; Mr.

Wensheng also sold cute toys from time to time, which made the men restless; There are also “people come crazy” Lebin, who has nothing to do but make jokes and make a funny face, making everyone happy; Of course, there was no shortage of me.

Leng Buding made everyone laugh when he said something out of tune; In a word, we laughed all the way.

I was in a good mood, and I felt very flat on the road.

Soon, the team came to the Ehuang bridge.

There was a long gentle slope on the bridge deck.

Of course, this was nothing for the old team members, but it was a challenge for the female comrades who rode for the first time.

During the ride, old teacher Tang gradually lost his physical strength, and the speed slowed down significantly.

I followed closely, and kept encouraging her with words to insist, insist, and insist, Mr.

Tang deserves to be a good athlete.

His ability to swim and walk is not boasted.

His perseverance is also strong.

He endured pain in his knee joint and just crossed the middle line of the bridge without ever getting off the bus.

After crossing the center line of the bridge, there is a long and slow descent.

It’s great for cyclists to climb the slope and then go down.

We dive and shout all the way.

Within a few minutes, we came to an intersection.

According to the signs, turning left is the legacy lake.

Sure enough, the motorcade turned left and headed west.

A blue lake came into view.

Although it was early winter, the lakeside was still green.

Looking across the lake, there were green trees and pavilions; The vast lake surface is clear and transparent.

From time to time, there is a breeze blowing, and the water surface ripples.

It seems that the amorous girl gives us a warm smile; Nearby, a row of winding white marble hydrophilic plank roads meander along the lake, large green lawns with abundant flowers and plants are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and a dark, smooth and suitable asphalt path is surrounded by the lake…

The scenery in front of us is so beautiful that we have no reason not to stop the car.

Beautiful and handsome men take out cameras and mobile phones, pose in various shapes and take photos as souvenirs, and women dress up in various ways, All kinds of men pretend to be cool, or meditate, or overlook, or elegant.

They pretend to be elegant, as if the scholar of Su University was born again; I took out the prepared team flag from my bag and asked everyone to gather around for a group photo.

The one who took the photo for us was an old man playing in the park.

When we were ready to smile brightly, the old man pressed the shutter and said “baa good”, which made us Jiangbei people feel more friendly.

Under the guidance of the old man, we carried out along the lakeside path and advanced towards the more beautiful scenery on the North Bank of the legacy lake.

Along the way, we chatted while walking.

I talked about Huangzhou food.

One was Dongpo cake, which was crisp and sweet, scattered but not broken.

The other was the famous Dongpo meat, which was bright and translucent, fragrant, waxy and soft, melted in the mouth, with a sweet aftertaste.

It made many people swallow their saliva, especially the Wensheng teacher, who was famous as “delicious sister”.

She said that she must order two Dongpo meat at noon, and she would eat one plate alone..
