Local roads most tourists & Le Tour would probably never consider. Just paradise! Especially on a sunny autumn day
Crisp, sunny stroll at Col des Palomieres. Met 2 vultures on the road coming home. Was super cool, but no pics, doh!
Today's afternoon stroll, few minutes from our front door. Still plenty of autumn beauty here.
Montpezat-de-Quercy. Another lovely little medieval village, with commanding views over the surrounding countryside.
Short walk in Bruniquel. Love off-season tourism, have this beautiful medieval village practically all to ourselves!
Riding through stunning autumn colours. Sometimes not all about the mountains, though they do look amazing today too!
Random shot from the road: Panta d'Escales reservoir. Lovely autumn colours along the route today. Very enjoyable.
Change from the coast, some nice hills around here too. Village of Hostalric a stand out in it's Autumn colours. Wow!
In Arreau this arvo showing tourist friends about. Looking beautiful in the Autumn colours & light.
Today's ride: Beautiful trundle through autumn colours, inc. this section of forest dirt. Yes planned, not lost!
More autumn colours walking close to home. Don't worry - it's going to start snowing again soon!
At last - cycling in Sunshine! Stunning autumn colours have been hiding most of the month but today all was forgiven.
Strolling through woods this arvo. Autumn is coming... but these trees are putting up a fight
More autumn views... Col d'Aspin of course! Tourist friends mean we have to go sightseeing. Tough day for it!
Late afternoon Autumnal stroll. Saw a pheasant up here & chased him out of the bracken when he hid in there. Cool!
Wondering Bagnères-de-Bigorre. Dappled light, traditional buildings, admiring autumn colours on the hillside above.
Taking a 'nature break' while out riding. Had to snap these beautiful crocus flowers by the roadside. Love Autumn!
Another ride up the Tourmalet & autumn is really kicking in now. Saw some huge vultures while taking pics. Magical!
Autumnal beer in the evening sun. Cheers!
Fallen chestnuts all over the place this time of year. Out walking today so no worries, but best avoided on the bike!
First day of Autumn loop around the Tourmalet. Perfect riding conditions but it is getting a little nippy up top.
It might not officially be Autumn for a few days yet, but it's certainly coming. Beautiful colours this morning.
Woke up to this view right outside our front door. So beautiful! Misty hills down the road weren't bad either!
Stunning riding above Gavarnie today, on 40km climb to Col de Tentes! Final 11km is HC in it's own right! #Broken
Hike up to Lac d'Oô. Lovely autumn colours & beautiful views. Pratiwi being brave with the locals too. Mooooo!
Walking by part of Canal du Midi. Must be wonderful to cycle along here in summer - beautiful & it runs for miles!
Random autumn colours.
Love autumn colours in the vineyards. Great views everywhere in Tuscany at the mo. Well - year round I'm guessing!
Relaxing in the garden amongst a few signs we are already in the middle of Autumn here. Lovely place to be
Even though we are above Lake Garda it's not visible from here. Still - can't complain about the autumn sunset, huh?
