Home @ 1945 from evening ride. Sun still shining showing stunning scenery. Nice & warm. 50km 2 cols knocked off with ease. Life is good 
Thursday 26 April 2012
How come I feel compelled to count chimes of the village clock's bell even though I know exactly what time it is?

To mine an asteroid economically you'd have to bring back so much ore it would flood the market. Thus you'd fail through your own success!

Another great ride this morning. Cols & views & grins No pictures as didn't stop & laptop is with Lenovo for w'ty screen replacement 
Saturday 21 April 2012
View NE-ish from Col d'Ey, 2nd of 3 cols on the morning ride. The descent was awesome, and final one even more so! 
Friday 20 April 2012
For those curious as to why I haven't mentioned riding Mont Ventoux yet... the view from our bedroom explains it 
Thursday 19 April 2012
The cycling I managed around Anduze. All these roads well maintained & many traffic free. Lots of hills. Love it!
Tuesday 17 April 2012
11hrs of throwing up. Several hardly able to stand or see. 5hrs on a drip. Testing French medical system with a hideous stomach bug! 
Monday 16 April 2012
In bed & dazzled by sun! Reflection in mirror of reflection from double glazing (silver edge between glass). Imagine direct! Time to get up?
Sunday 15 April 2012
Winter hasn't quite let go yet with some chilly nights. So we get to enjoy the log burner - in more ways than one
Sunday 15 April 2012
Integrating at the local 'Flower Festival'. Not many flowers, but they had crêpes & other goodies so who cares?
Saturday 14 April 2012
Evening arrival at our 2nd gite. View from the bedroom shows Ventoux shrouded in cloud. Other hills look nice too!
Saturday 14 April 2012
Visiting the Pont du Gard. Consider this had been here for 2000 years & look at the people for scale. Just amazing!!
Saturday 14 April 2012
Uzès Cathedral, outside & in. This tower (medieval & the only original part they say) is unique in France apparently.
Saturday 14 April 2012
Lunch in Uzès. Pratiwi tucking into her steak tartare. Nice as it was, think I'll stick to my pizza thanks!
Saturday 14 April 2012
Uzes & it's market on a Saturday. The tiny streets & walkways packed. We picked up some spices & local jams. Yum 
Saturday 14 April 2012
Time for a short farewell walk around Anduze before heading off. Doesn't take long either - it's a tiny place!
Saturday 14 April 2012
Travelling light... travelling light Leaving Anduze for Faucon.
Saturday 14 April 2012
As we're now packed can share a look inside the (now tidy ) gite. Not too shabby, huh? Home away from home
Saturday 14 April 2012
Goodbye Anduze, hello Faucon. Time to blow this joint (literally, it's windy out there!). Will miss it though, been a wonderful little home.
Friday 13 April 2012
What's better than a great morning's ride? Coming home to find someone has cooked a delicious meatloaf for lunch!
Thursday 12 April 2012
People! Please quit this, "I've ticked off 578 of 1000 lists of bullshit. How many have you done?". Another stupid social networking fad
Wednesday 11 April 2012
Second col on today's ride. Sunny, but nippy. In fact this is Plan B as was snowing on Plan A route! Still v. nice
Monday 9 April 2012
Today: Up Early. Wild deer. Green forests. Huge vultures. Breathtaking scenery. Long walk. Sheer cliffs. Stunning roads. Perfect weather.
Monday 9 April 2012
Overlooking Gorge du Tarn. Le Point Sublime. Yes, quite!
Monday 9 April 2012
This was our lunch spot. Overlooking the Gorge du Tarn we ate bread & cold meats, pan au chocolat & biscuits. Yum
Monday 9 April 2012
Many, many more stunning views all along the way. To Cassagnes, overlooking Gorge du Tarn and back to Le Rozier.
Monday 9 April 2012
This boulder didn't seem to have been here long. Righto... move along quickly!
Monday 9 April 2012
Many climbers here on the cliffs. Close enough to chat to some. Look hard for climber having lunch centre 2nd image.
Monday 9 April 2012
Pratiwi is the pink dot on the left here. Not being extra brave - just that's where the path was. Absolutely amazing!
Monday 9 April 2012
Setting out on a hike from Le Rozier, the small village seen below. Trail hugs a cliff edge through beautiful forest.
Monday 9 April 2012
The village of Le Truel tucked on the side of Gorge de la Jonte, and the river just down the road in Le Rozier.
Monday 9 April 2012
Up at 6:30! Bloody hell... Thought this was meant to be a holiday!
Sunday 8 April 2012
@sparkyweston Is this what I think it is? Next you'll be telling us you're listening to @diradio chiptunes channel? #retro
Saturday 7 April 2012
@miketomalaris Yes it's brilliant action on the track, but sadly doesn't involve a ball so most punters don't care. Oh well. Their loss, eh?
Friday 6 April 2012
The Wisteria vine on our host's porch in beautiful bloom. The loud humming of bees it attracts is somehow soothing
Thursday 5 April 2012
Last leg of ride today I think, "This feels a bit hard". Was pressing on, so check profile: 95%+ HR for last 20 min. Ah, that explains it
Thursday 5 April 2012
Hamilton rode 2002 Giro with a broken shoulder, gritting his teeth so hard he needed dental work after! Crazy! @inrng http://inrng.com/2012/04/cycling...
Wednesday 4 April 2012
Sydney's NW rail link: track underground & overhead. In China would be none of that & stuff in the way gone! Still wondering how to compete?
Wednesday 4 April 2012
Rainy day in the Gite.
Monday 2 April 2012
Just installed @cyanogen ICS nightly on my SGS I9000. Works like a charm. Thanks guys! No thanks to Samsung though! #ManufacturerFail
Monday 2 April 2012
@aglogan In good company as @PerkoPerkins hit by car on weekend too! Did @CyclingCentral cover this? Missed it if so. #DriverEducationNeeded
Sunday 1 April 2012
This 1.19€ bottle of wine bought to cook with doesn't taste half bad you know! Either that or I know nothing about wine. What you think?
Sunday 1 April 2012
A walk to Lacan from our doorstep. Anduze, our Gite & attached owners home (seen in the garden!) from the summit.
Saturday 31 March 2012
Hmmmmm... guess what this is going to be!
Saturday 31 March 2012
Back from stunning morning ride. PB'd 2 climbs. Had descent from Col de-St Pierre all to myself - what an awesome road! http://connect.garmin.com/activi...
Tuesday 27 March 2012
Afternoon snacks... in a kindof arty way. Not quite the look I was after but tasted good all the same
Tuesday 27 March 2012
Stopped by the small village of Valleraugue. Very nice, but the river running through was the pick of the views.
Tuesday 27 March 2012
An afternoon jaunt to Mont Aigoual. That building is a weather station that's open to visitors. Not right now though.
Tuesday 27 March 2012
Disgusted by the fuss from cyclists over proposed speed humps & crossings in Sydney's Centennial Park. Want to ride fast? Do so elsewhere!
