We pass here all the time, but it's still worth a picture once in a while. That village below is Bagneres-de-Bigorre.
View from the terrace at our local golf club. Lucky one doesn't have to play or be a member to enjoy this Phew!
Guess cage broke yesterday Worn out pin not replaceable anyhow so fixed with cannibalised spare from parts bin
What's wrong with this picture? Happened out riding but random stranger gave us a lift home. People here are so nice!
Lovely day & Pratiwi said we should go cycling. Never let it be said I don't pander to her every wish! #ToughGig
Today's ride: 'Sunny Tourist Loop'. While none of these roads are famous it's 'tourism' because I stopped for pics
Afternoon stroll: Col de Beyrede to ridge above. Just made snow line. Spectacular & one of the best short walks here!
Enjoying this artisanal beer from Brittany courtesy of our good friends up there. Thank you, and cheers!
Snow on local 'hills' so autumnal tonne up to Rabastens-de-Bigorre & back. Beautiful roads. Amazing variety here
Affligem xmas beer for under 2€/litre. A delicious bargain! Best get some in - expecting thirsty guests soon!
Does @Nigel_Farage realise if he emigrates to USA, instead of being confronted with a few strong words it could be guns? Good luck Nige!
Caught out in the rain for the fist time all year & this is the result. Yerch! Lucky this doesn't happen often!
Local bike club fete today. No riding, but eating & drinking all arvo. Lots of fun. No pics, I need to lie down! #AntiTraining #OffSeason
Heading out to lunch with the local bike club. Random view on the trip there. Lovely & warm in the sunshine today
Awesome morning view from our room in Salles-Lavalette. Lovely breakie spread too. Thanks to our very generous hosts!
We've been provided with a lovely traditional room this evening. Little nippy here but so comfy & cosy in that bed!
Dinner in Paris. Rather nice Coq au vin for me, something odd for her Sitting watching the world go by. Cheers!
La Chouffe is fantastic beer & rare to find it on tap. Cheers! #CentralParisPricesMadeThisMostExpensivePintEver!
Strolling streets of Saint-Germain. These food shops & people eating on the street helping us working up an appetite!
Free WiFi/charging desk at Tarbes train station. Well... free so long as you pedal. Great idea & saw kids using it!
Wondering Bagnères-de-Bigorre. Dappled light, traditional buildings, admiring autumn colours on the hillside above.
So people in UK/USA think Brexit/Trump stick it to the establishment? You do realise who put those choices before them, right? #NoRealChange
Lunch with friends after a damp walk. Advantage of chilly conditions: the restaurant is serving vin chaud. Cheers!
Short walk near Lac de Payolle. Well, it' can't be glorious sunshine all the time & besides, I quite like the mist
Gooooooooood morning UuuuuSssssAaaaa! Back on top as World's Dumbest nation! U-S-A! U-S-A! #FacePalm #TheyAreAllJustPuppets #NoRealChange
Short stroll to check out our new locale. Love how the inquisitive neighbours look up from their morning snack
Not just a pretty face? Access to oven + bit of spare time means fresh bread baked by my own fair hands. Yum!
Chatting to local about huge mushrooms he just picked from his field. He insisted we take them to try. So lucky! Yum!
Same road as last time, just bit slower today Must have been the clouds holding us back. Right girls?
With 2x Tourmalet & a club ride in the legs already this week time to relax & enjoy the view. Mission accomplished
31 October yet back atop the Tourmalet in summer riding kit! Twice in 5 days. With weather like this stupid not to
Approaching Luz-Saint-Sauveur on another Tourmalet tonne. Top tip: take the road to Sassis for this riverside view
Taking a 'nature break' while out riding. Had to snap these beautiful crocus flowers by the roadside. Love Autumn!
Another ride up the Tourmalet & autumn is really kicking in now. Saw some huge vultures while taking pics. Magical!
Dear @Garmin, latest firmware update on Edge 520 froze my device than caused factory reset. Had to setup from scratch! #SupportFail #Morons
Spectacular autumn afternoon in the French Pyrenees, and always a pleasure visiting this spot. Happy Birthday Liz!
Media pushes fear & hate, which leads to conflict, leads to innocents suffering, which media use to sell copy. Ignore the mainstream media!
Wonderful & entertaining dinner out with some lovely new - & very generous, thankyou! - friends. Nom, nom, nom!
Bagneres-de-Bigorre 'Twinning day' celebration. Great dinner & small display of classic cars - British, naturally!
Up early today. Things to do & all that! If you had to work in this area this would be your daily commute. Yerch!
Early flat aside what an awesome day out on the bike. Biggest ride of the year. In fact biggest ride since 2010!
Not far into today's epic forced to limp to LBS on this before procuring new tyre & tube. Lucky wasn't up a mountain!
