With the autumn breeze bringing coolness and the sun shining just right, I set off on a journey to the Joyful Outdoors Base Camp, my heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming autumn cycling event. Our destination this time was the picturesque Changxing Island, where an autumn feast combining cycling, gourmet food, leisure, and team activities awaited my companions and me.

Departure: Preparing for the Ride in the Morning Light
In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the mist, we were ready to depart. The staff at Joyful Outdoors Base Camp had already polished the bicycles to a gleaming shine, and safety equipment was all prepared. After a brief explanation of cycling safety, we put on our helmets, donned our cycling attire, and with the cool autumn breeze at our backs, we embarked on our journey to Changxing Island.

Cycling: Weaving Through Golden Fields and Forests
As our wheels rolled, the autumn scenery of Changxing Island gradually unfolded before us. The golden rice fields shimmered under the sunlight, as if the golden avenue laid by nature itself. We followed the meticulously planned cycling route, sometimes passing through forest trails, feeling the rustling of leaves; sometimes crossing over small bridges and streams, listening to the murmuring melody of the brook. Each breath was refreshing, and every pedal stroke was filled with strength and freedom.

Break: A Joyful Gathering at the Barbeque
Halfway through our ride, we found a scenic open space and began to enjoy the self-service barbeque feast prepared for us by Joyful Outdoors Base Camp.A Day of Joyful Outdoors and Team Bonding

Working Together for a Feast
We all joined hands in preparation, with some of us starting the fire, others cutting meat and vegetables, and some busy preparing delicious sauces. The air soon filled with tantalizing aromas, signaling the start of our feast. We sat together, tasting the food we had grilled ourselves, laughing and enjoying this rare gathering time.

Afternoon Tea and Tranquility
After the meal, we moved to a nearby pavilion to enjoy a leisurely time with tea by the fire. The charcoal crackled in the stove, and the boiling water in the kettle bubbled, as we each brewed our favorite tea. The fragrance of tea rose, blending with the surrounding autumn colors. We sipped our tea quietly or looked into the distance, enjoying the tranquility and comfort.

Exploration and Creativity
The afternoon was short and beautiful, leading us to a nearby orchard for a picking activity. Red apples and yellow pears hung on the branches, and we excitedly moved among them, selecting the fruits we liked best. In addition to picking, we also participated in DIY craft activities, creating various exquisite handicrafts with the fruits we picked. These works not only condensed our wisdom and sweat but also became a beautiful memento of our cycling event.

Return Journey Filled with Joy
As the sun set, we embarked on our return trip, laden with the fruits of our cycling adventure. Though our bodies were somewhat weary, our hearts were brimming with contentment and joy. The autumn cycling event organized by the Joyful Outdoors Base Camp allowed us to appreciate the autumnal beauty of Changxing Island, provided us with health and happiness through cycling, and strengthened our friendships and understanding through team activities.This will become an unforgettable and beautiful memory in our hearts.
