I did say we couldn't get a whole leg due to lack of slicing equipment in the snail. Lucky we're visiting friends! 
Sunday 17 April 2016
So now the girls have finished messing about (ahem!!), it's time to get serious. Hand me a knife! 
Sunday 17 April 2016
I'm sure jamón slicing is a very earnest business... just no-one thought to tell these two! 
Oh dear!
Saturday 16 April 2016
Evening stroll around Deidesheim before dinner. And a bit of... ahem... silliness Warmer than it looks... honest!

Post lunch constitutional. This little village is Barr, & although it's still France the German influence is obvious.
Saturday 16 April 2016
Lunch stop in the Alsace region. Very traditional looking restaurant has Italian specials. Who are we to argue?

After bit of a long day on the road... simple things sometimes make the best treats. Ahhhh...

Love French obsession with bread. We might be in motorway services miles from anywhere, but there's still fresh warm baguettes available!

Welcome to Lyon! This is why we usually avoid cities, but GPS says it's best way North. Doh! 
Cool clouds though.

Still working on that bag of oranges. So sweet & juicy. There are worse things to eat morning, noon & night!

Plenty of scope for CX training on today's ride By the beach & through wetland. And yes, those dots are flamingos!
Tuesday 12 April 2016
Back in France so lunch supplies are easy: Find boulangerie, buy quiche &... no idea what the other is but was tasty!

Sadly this is a Spanish baguette. But... it's still warm from the oven & I only had to walk 50m to find it. Result!
Monday 11 April 2016
Today's ride: up a lovely little - 1,200m at the top - climb. Parc Natural del Montseny. Just North of Barcelona.

Friday 8 April 2016
Post lunch walk home along the beach. Think that sangria is still working on someone
Friday 8 April 2016
Outside bar in Spain. Cold day: I'm wearing sweater & Goretex shell. 3 pommies walk out in tee shirts & shorts & say, "Oooo... Tropical" LOL
Friday 8 April 2016
Great tapas bar in Sitges. Fresh kebabs, sausages, etc. came round regularly. Yum! Sangria seems effective too!
Friday 8 April 2016
Old town of Sitges: narrow alleys and... erm... interesting shopfront props
Thursday 7 April 2016
Ride from the Med coast up brutal climb (20%+ ramps), past vineyards, a castle & lakes. You know, the usual stuff

Passed lots of orange groves yesterday. Paid 7 bucks for a bag of lovely, juicy fruit as big as Pratiwi Bargain

Not all jamón here is cheap. This 440€ leg most expensive I could find. 49/kg? Anyone in Sydney want to comment?
Wednesday 6 April 2016
Spanish supermarket: Jamón a serious business here! There's a guy hand slicing it for your tasting pleasure too
Tuesday 5 April 2016
Lunch in Villajoyosa. 12€ menu included a 'small' glass of sangria. This & my entrée the highlights. Yum!
Monday 4 April 2016
So let me get this straight: there really is a Crown Prince needing help to transfer millions & only guy smart enough to reply is in Panama?
Monday 4 April 2016
Today's ride: Same route as last time, reversed. In 3½ hours riding only 34 sec difference - faster! #Consistency

Dear Mr Advertising Industry, as you can't play nice I'm taking all your toys! Network ad-block in the snail!

Wednesday 30 March 2016
Nerd alert!!! You know... because have been without a server room for far too long
Tuesday 29 March 2016
Woke feeling a bit off. Did 90km bike ride. Felt better. Sat in sunshine & had food & drink forced on us by neighbours. Life is tough!
Saturday 26 March 2016
Today's ride: Deserted Costa Blanca roads. Surprisingly good riding here & it's almost hot! #TanLines #FullyPro
Friday 25 March 2016
Feeling very lucky... this was on the table 5 minutes after I got home from cycling! Yum! #Refuel #Hydration
Thursday 24 March 2016
Is tricky to find a good curry in Europe so just this once happy to enjoy some 'Brits Abroad' dining Cheers!
Thursday 24 March 2016
Beach front at Villajoyosa. This one's sandy: note the palms Can't say it's not colourful enough & rather like it!
Wednesday 23 March 2016
Shots from today's ride. Lovely roads but a bit arid around here. Higher you go, greener it gets though. Oh well!
Tuesday 22 March 2016
Evening stroll. Is cloudy but warm. No sand, but on the plus side, won't be find it in every orifice for hours!
Monday 21 March 2016
Between two types of valid syntax, is slightly annoying when one you've been using is deprecated. Doh! #CouldHaveBeenWorse #31FileCommit
Saturday 19 March 2016
Last ride of Winter today, a bit chilly: hardly drank a thing. Then again was only just over an hour #ThingsToDo
Thursday 17 March 2016
Lost of sites with annoying JS pop-ups still render content server side, so just disable JS on those domains for better experience #Bozos
Tuesday 15 March 2016
Moved little further South today. Now lovely & warm. Crickets are chirping outside. Bonus: parked by the beach at bottom of a 25km climb!
Tuesday 15 March 2016
The Spanish like a little ham it seems. Sadly we have to pass due to lack of slicing paraphernalia in the snail!
Sunday 13 March 2016
Does anyone else find it highly suspicious that both @garminconnect & @Strava both seem to be having technical difficulties today? #TechFail
Sunday 13 March 2016
Pratiwi cutting up sausisson: "Think I've done too much". Like durh! One can never have too much sausisson! Especially after a few beers!
Sunday 13 March 2016
Post ride refreshments... as the shadows lengthen. Another great day. Hmmmmmm...
Sunday 13 March 2016
Dear Interwebs: some of us want sites in our native language even in a foreign country. You know, on holiday! Forced geo-locale is useless!
Friday 11 March 2016
Hour or so of work, 81km ride in sunshine, not one but two races (#ParisNice & #TirrenoAdriatico) to watch after lunch #PerfectDay!
Wednesday 9 March 2016
When you're out riding & weather turns to shit: can always motivate yourself by thinking about what pros would do, yes? Wrong! #ParisNice
