Today – technically the third day of our four-day Discovery Bicycle Tours Cambodia pre-tour – is our first real bike ride, scheduled for 36 miles. We cycle on the Angkor Bikeway and hidden trails through the ruins and forest of Angkor. We come to our first temple, Banteay Srei, a 10th century temple dedicated to the Hindu gods Shiva and Parvati. Angkor Wat houses what are considered the finest examples of Khmer art – carved bas-reliefs stretching nearly 600 meters. From Angkor Wat, we bike to the Bayon Temple, with its enormous, fantastical enigmatic faces looking in every direction from every stone tower – 216 in all.
