Morning: 103km ride. Arvo: hours cutting hedges & grass. Finish 10 mins before sunset. Well deserved beer & nibbles!
Beautiful day for big cols but August weekend means lots of tourist traffic up there. 105km in the foothills instead!
Insert obligatory beer... erm... banana shot! Today's perfection at Hautacam & Col du Tramessel. Cheers!?
Smashed my PR up East side of the Tourmalet. Loving 25-30C temps so pretty Aussie still - locals hate this 'heat'!
Lunch at Hotel Bellevue, Cambo-les-Bains. Fantastic food, especially the main & ridiculous value - 3 courses for 16E!
Ride to Atlantic & back via some, erm, interesting 'roads'! It ain't Sydney But then again - it ain't Sydney
Lunch above clearing clouds @ Refuge Orisson. Great steak & Gateau Basque - of course - nom! Fantastic experience!
I rode here the day before & so beautiful drove Pratiwi up to see. Roads above the clouds always feel very special
Dinner at the mobile warung kecil - aka. campsite in St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Simple but delish as always. Nom, nom!
Today's ride: little recovery spin in more rolling terrain... with 20% pinches thrown in because... Basque region!
Today's ride: Basque Epic from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Brutal gradients. Beautiful scenery. To Spanish border & back.
Tapas, beer & sangria... watching the world go by in St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Went down a treat after earlier exertions!
Happy anniversary to us! 10 months since we last ate out so great return to one of the local faves we've missed
Dinner with friends: only half of the desserts on offer this evening in frame - need a wider lens!? Delicious!
Sublime Col d'Aspin today: PR the climb, home in time for stage 1 of le Tour, beer & delicious lunch. Life is good
Another missed chance to score a pot of gold this morning Oh well, at least we get to enjoy the beautiful view
Baby birds have been very entertaining this spring. Amazing how the tiny ones get in and out of 'jail' so easily!
Riding past snowdrifts in full summer kit: what a day! Personal best time for Tourmalet West too #FasterWithAge
Well that should keep us (erm... me?) busy for a while. Noting that I DIY *very* slowly so wouldn't be difficult!
Beautiful La Peyre & Croix de Beliou. Sunny but 0C with 60kph wind & snowfields. To think I almost wore shorts!
What a morning for a ride. Stunning up at Gazost. Sealed road in this valley ends 9.9km from home, which is handy!
Dug 2 barrows of rock from tiny area of lawn this AM. Thx to builders for dumping here Ready to seed now though
Test clips are great for Arduino FTDI connection. Saves having unused headers in the final install. #RainyDayProject
Another day cycling, sports viewing, yardwork, nerd work/play, enjoying beer & tunes comes to an end. #FeelingBlessed
Lucky to say endless awesome parcours within 10km of home. This spot only 2.5km for example. Yes, v.lucky! #StaySafe
When dad starts conversation about beer so need shot of current selection. The odd one out is strictly for guests!
Mates teasing me about lack of MTB action, so here you go: Bike. Dirt. Mountains! Just another day in paradise
Well slap my thigh! Col d'Aspin... on Feb 16... in shorts! Set a PR too so double awesome! Happy days!
After repairing old screen numerous times, finally bought new one. Best 36€ spent in a while! 10yo laptop lives on!
Temporary shelving setup in the garage for training. Strangely motivational... hmmmmmmm...
When you have small footing to dig (for a garden gate) but rain just won't stop: slow job gets even slower - doh!
Garage scrap snow-shovel challenge: bamboo, ply & cable ties a success, but enhancements coming in v0.2 next year
Snowshoeing practically from our doorstep. We often walk up here, but snow takes things up a notch. So beautiful!
Not running water but solid ice! Cork blocking pipe from a water tank pushed out by ice (see it on floor?). Amazing!
Today's ride: found a deer trapped by wire fence so helped it escape & run off hopefully unscathed. PS: was nippy!
Great day on the snow with the ladies. Raquettes with a picnic stop. Absolutely beautiful parcours at the Couraduque!
What do you mean you've never wanted to test temp/humidity sensor performance when installed in an extractor vent?
Spin on t'bike then simple new year's lunch: noodle soup and a beer. Yum! Needn't always go OTT on special days
Roast duck & butternut squash... Super nom! Posing by tree with Xmas lunch? That's total tots norms, right?
Beer o'clock so must also be time to say... Merry Xmas everyone! Whatever you're doing... have a great day!
Today's ride: Beautiful trundle through autumn colours, inc. this section of forest dirt. Yes planned, not lost!
Spotted out walking: leaf standing in the road after falling or being blown there. What are the odds? #LittleThings
Perfect afternoon for the daily confinement stroll. Saying hello to more friendly neighbours. Moooooo!
Another crappy day in confinement But jokes aside, know we are super lucky to have this stuff in our 1km radius
Nov 2. Shorts & tee weather for daily walk around our home village. Been like this for a few days now - lovely!
