Ate 5 croissants today. Oops! 3 with bacon & cheese. 2 with jam & cream. Yum! Fuel/refuel on huge day of skiing 
Saturday 21 January 2017
Skied 7,000m vertical yesterday yet somehow thought a ride with the local club to be a good idea today. Legs now destroyed! In a good way 
Friday 20 January 2017
Apres ski in a nice cosy bar. Love Pratiwi's bowl of hot chocolate, but went something more refreshing Cheers!
Friday 20 January 2017
Back up the Col du Tourmalet. Although something's a little bit different this time...
Friday 20 January 2017
Another perfect day on the slopes. Lucky at least one of us changed something in their outfit!
Wednesday 18 January 2017
Heading back down the mountain. That cloud hung in the valley all day - was a much better idea to get up above it!
Wednesday 18 January 2017
Bonjour from the Grand Tourmalet. Awesome day on the piste. Imagine when the other half of the resort is open!
Wednesday 18 January 2017
Driving up to La Mongie after fresh snowfall. 4x4 on snow tyres is pretty impressive here. Feels like a normal day

Random views from the local roads we travel almost daily. Ever changing mountain scenery never disappoints!
Friday 13 January 2017
Pratiwi didn't want to go for a short stroll today, but after being talking into it, turns out it was fun!
Friday 13 January 2017
Looks like there's been a nearby accident involving a truck of icing sugar & it's blown all over the place!
Sunday 8 January 2017
Random villages lucky enough to get some late afternoon sun... not that there's much warmth to it this time of year.
Sunday 8 January 2017
Bloody hell! More mountain traffic jams! Hope this makes you city slickers feel better!
Saturday 7 January 2017
Another Veri-shit-by-Visa fail. Enter your UK postcode? Erm, you know British banks cater to overseas customers, right? #Idiots #NeverWorks
Friday 6 January 2017
Bike club dinner. No-one behind because us newbie pommies sat at the last table. Don't worry, we weren't alone!
Friday 6 January 2017
Trade tariffs are key economic concept in taught in US. Looks like @realDonaldTrump needs to go back to high school! http://www.econlib.org/library/T...

Post-ride refuel. Pratiwi was worried this was too much. LOL... Bless! 
Saturday 31 December 2016
4pm on New Year's Eve. Sat in a hardware store. I'm feeling so tired could fall asleep right here. Doesn't bode well for this evening!
Friday 30 December 2016
No ride NYE so 2016 done! See cheesy infographic. Bonus fun fact: 343h is around 6% of my waking hours. #NotEnough

Does winter riding get any better than this? Unbelievable day playing on the Col d'Aspin!

Little walk up near Col des Palomières. Not bad for the first day of winter! Making some new friends too
Wednesday 21 December 2016
Patisserie didn't have the cake we wanted (it's not strawberry season). Oh well, will have to pick something else!
Tuesday 20 December 2016
Misty day in the foothills. Caught a moment of sunshine peaking through to light up the other side of the valley.
Monday 19 December 2016
Have some city slicker friends come to stay. They appear to like a tipple! Just a couple of days worth here! Hic!
Monday 19 December 2016
Lunch by Lac de Gaube. What a spectacular spot. And warm too... glad I brought that refreshing beverage!
Monday 19 December 2016
Lac de Gaube. Frozen. Wow! View aside, sound of the ice popping & cracking echoing around was absolutely incredible!
Monday 19 December 2016
Don't know why soft lad is mincing around like that... I doubt there's much chance of getting wet!
Monday 19 December 2016
So... the alternate walking route from Pont d'Espagne up to Lac de Gaube. Almost as pretty as the summer path?
Monday 19 December 2016
Little stream near at Pont d'Espagne. Half frozen there's a tiny waterfall created by the ice here. Cool!
Monday 19 December 2016
Stroll at Pont d'Espagne: But 10m in & we found path covered in thick ice. No crampons so time to find another way!
Saturday 17 December 2016
Lunch at Payolle. I guess there are perks to having to do this tourist thing after all! Nom, nom, nom, nom!
Saturday 17 December 2016
More autumn views... Col d'Aspin of course! Tourist friends mean we have to go sightseeing. Tough day for it!
Friday 16 December 2016
Buzzed by a large Macaw Parrot today while riding through a tiny village in the French Pyrenees #Bizarre #FirstTimeForEverything #Squawk
Thursday 15 December 2016
Late afternoon Autumnal stroll. Saw a pheasant up here & chased him out of the bracken when he hid in there. Cool!
Tuesday 13 December 2016
Another glorious day... perfect for a spin in the sun with Pratiwi
Sunday 11 December 2016
Random hike up a nearby hill: Plateau d'Esquiou. Pratiwi said was a bit steep near the top. But it's a plateau!
Saturday 10 December 2016
I won't try to insult your intelligence with 'decisions, decisions'... of course one has to have both! Cheers!
Saturday 10 December 2016
Pic from one of the club guys today. Not at all the prettiest part of the ride, but I'm in this shot, so... share!
Thursday 8 December 2016
Afternoon snack. Nom, nom, nom! #bread #cheese #saucisson
Thursday 8 December 2016
Well good morning! When you wake up to find the farmer has put cows in a field literally 3m from your front door!
Saturday 3 December 2016
We pass here all the time, but it's still worth a picture once in a while. That village below is Bagneres-de-Bigorre.
Friday 2 December 2016
View from the terrace at our local golf club. Lucky one doesn't have to play or be a member to enjoy this Phew!
