Random views from the road: Rainy Bossost & Port de la Bonaigua before a beautifully sunny Port del Canto

Heading out this arvo saw a huge committee of vultures near home. Turned into a kettle as we passed Awesome!

April Tourmalet. A bit of snow left, but crazy hot (for time of year) so in summer kit! Didn't even feel too bad!

Decided mid-ride to add more kays but didn't bring enough fuel. Luckily this is why the patisserie was invented!

Ran into & was stung by a big black bee out riding the other day. Leg a tad swollen? Not painful just annoying!

Atop a random climb I didn't bother going up before. Nice view up here but road a bit sketchy on the descent. Doh!

Beautiful spring day for the Col de Spandelles. Hardly anyone else on the road up here. Doesn't get much better!

Spectacular spring day up the Aspin. Rarely stop on the descent but had to capture snowy peaks under that blue sky!

When mates come back from Aus with some little treats! Thank you guys!

Blue skies, fresh snow & empty pistes. Eating sangers in the sun. Probably last day of the season for me though

In Toulouse today so lunch @ Le Mekong. Just what we like: simple place with tasty dishes! Cool Airbus posters too.

When you take friends round the village & they visit every boulangerie. Gateau degustation at afternoon tea! Yum!

Finally got round to trying one of our other local Asian options. Better late than never! Nom, nom, nom!

Little lunch outing in Tarbes. Burger & a cheeky pint of Kwak. Don't mind if I do. Cheers!

February mid-morning stroll. Erm... where's all the weekend snow gone!?!

First and looking like only dusting of snow at home this year. It's been a very warm winter

Seeing as we are passing... short stroll at Lac de Soues. Not bad for a lake in the 'big smoke'

Oh, go on then... Lunch at La Passeyade. Great garbure & dessert, but should have had the sausage main. Next time!

Fun times at Shamrock Tarbes open mic. night. Good to get out for a few pints & some live music in the 'big smoke'

Nice sunset this evening! End of a great day

Bit frosty for riding this morning so went for a little jog. View to our house from the other side of the valley

Very social ski at Grand Tourmalet. Surprisingly good given how little snow has fallen, was a great day on the piste!

It's good to get home from a trip & enjoy our mountain views... erm... #WrongKindOfMountains

Found a nice Italian restaurant & ordered plat du jour... which wasn't pizza. Doh! Still, that steak wasn't bad!
