@thejensie you are a living legend! What a ride in the #atoc today. Simply amazing & what an inspiration to all us 'old' riders!

So let me get this straight... India is now outsourcing brewing to Australia? Not impressed sad

So glad to have friends who drag you out riding when you're feeling crap. Obliterated PR on 1st of 4 gorges. Slowest time ever on last! wink

Last of the cloud is almost burnt off by 2pm. Lucky, because it's a great view down on Laruns from here!

Tue 8 Jan

L'église Saint-Laurent in Aas. Get's you closer to god? wink

Awoke to a misty morning. Took a drive over Col de Marie-Blanque anyhow. Wow! Above the clouds is a different world!

Sun 6 Jan
17:50

Another stunning evening light & fog show here in St Lizier.

Sun 6 Jan

Road to the Col de Pause. Sadly it was closed not far above here so no hiking (what we came for). Nice drive though!

Sat 5 Jan
08:40

Crazy scenes at dawn (if you can call it that at 8:30). Glad we're up here on the hill and not down in all that fog!

Fri 4 Jan
19:10

Small but perfectly formed. Evening treat from the local boulangerie.

Fri 4 Jan
18:00

Watching the sun fall behind hills over the valley. Viewed from our lounge window. Did I mention we like it here? wink

Fri 4 Jan
16:05

Back in St Lizier. That castle-like thing on the hill to the right is where home is right now. We like it here smile

@dailytelegraph today devotes pages 1-5 to horse racing 'scandal'. Sad proof most Sydney folk care little about the real world out there sad

Relaxing brunch picnic in a sunny Clifton Gardens today. We were joined by some feathered locals. What a treat! grin

Sun 28 Apr

Clifton Gardens this morning. Through a very dirty cellphone lens. Processed to the max so you don't notice that wink

Braving Autumn weather in Sydney wink Don't normally share pics from my 'ride like a tourist' route so please enjoy smile

@David_Cameron "lessons of Iraq have been learnt" How to better fabricate 'intelligence' or do spin? #Syria @BBCNews http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-...

Fri 4 Jan

Random views from the road: looking South to the Pyrenees over their rolling foothills on a misty winter's day.

Fri 4 Jan
14:05

Grotte du Mas d'Azil... why build the road over a ridge when nature has cut you a tunnel through it?

Thu 25 Apr
21:30

Fantastic sunny day? Check! Ride with mates? Check? Cycling Central & @miketomalaris on the TV? Ch... erm... Feels like a Sunday, but... wink

13:00

Enjoying views from Carla-Bayle, tiny village at foot of the Pyrenees. Not much going on here this time of year mind.

Fri 4 Jan
12:45

Rolling hills around Carla-Bayle. If not for snow-capped peaks behind you'd never know it was the middle of winter!

Fri 4 Jan
11:55

Festive decorations in the streets of St Lizier. They've gone all out & would put a lot of indoor attempts to shame!

Fri 4 Jan
09:10

A wide angle view over St Lizier rooftops... from the lounge in our accommodation. See why we extended the stay? wink

Thu 3 Jan
16:00

Back to Aulus-les-Bains. Great trail past mountain huts, mossy rocks & crystal clear stream with it's own mini falls.

Mon 8 Apr
08:14

Best #PR I've seen! Little sleep here in Aus. Will suffer today. It's like a dream even for fans so how does the legend @f_cancellara feel?!

Thu 3 Jan
14:30

La Cascade d'Ars, in a semi-frozen state. And the view below. Well worth the hour or so walk.

Thu 3 Jan
14:45

My lil' snow angel wink grin

Thu 3 Jan
13:10

Hiking up to Cascade d'Ars. Passing other small streams then snow (sometimes deep) above 800m or so. Awesome walk! smile

Thu 3 Jan
11:50

On the road (and in) Aulus-les-Bains. It's a beautiful day so this is the start of a little walk we have planned.

Wed 2 Jan
15:10

Bit changeable out so just relaxing 'at home'. Clouds add something to the ever changing view from the lounge window.

Tue 1 Jan
14:00

Pretty lazy today. Just took a drive through some small villages. Here's Engomer, Les Bordes-sur-Lez & views nearby.

Mon 31 Dec
17:05

Arrived in Saint-Lizier & here's the view from the front of our accommodation. Great to be back in the mountains! grin

Mon 31 Dec
14:45

Rather be flying? Not really - more great views from the road. These are from opposite sides of the Col du Portel.

Mon 31 Dec
11:00

Walking by part of Canal du Midi. Must be wonderful to cycle along here in summer - beautiful & it runs for miles!

Sun 31 Mar
21:31

#RVV here! If you can't be there, be on the couch #Leffe in hand, http://live.cyclingnews.com/ on overlay. Cheers! grin

Even in winter, you have to love 'tree tunnels' around the French countryside. This one is just outside Capestang.

Mon 31 Dec
08:30

Waking up to a misty sunrise. We stayed in a beautiful B&B set amongst the vineyards near Montady.

Fri 29 Mar
22:03

Just scheduled a reminder (like we need it!) for Sunday night. #Leffe already on ice. Anyone joining me for #RVV? grin http://t.co/y7BJeiYPzB

Sun 30 Dec
17:05

Generous tray of tea, biscuits & hot chocolate on arrival at the B&B this evening. Giant cups of yuuuuum! tongue

Sun 30 Dec
13:25

Lunch in Sète. And a slightly unusual one at that... what with this being a fishing village & all!

Sun 30 Dec
12:10

Pink Flamingos, in France, in the middle of winter? Wow! Now we know why we chose to drive through the Camargue! grin

Sat 29 Dec
09:40

One last stop to admire the view as we head down from Les Menuires. Ahhhh...

Sun 24 Mar
15:13

Great day for a ride... until a rear wheel spoke broke & taco'd rim so bad it locked up. On a fast descent. Good bike control practice! wink

Sat 29 Dec
07:40

Sunrise on moving day. Time to follow these lights down the mountain and then on to our next destination...

Fri 28 Dec
09:10

Final morning here & this is better! 7+ hours on the piste to finish the week. Hurrah! grin
