Today's ride: Round & up East side of Col de Beyrede, mostly in beautiful shady forests. Bit crowded up top mind! 
Passing through Haute-Loire. Beautiful rolling hills & friendly natives. Am sure French farmers think we are mad!

Today's beaut ride out West. Shame there's hardly any snow to ski on ATM, but can just about cope with this option
Today's ride: Coastal warm up before some brutal inland gradients. Full summer kit. Amazing mid-October conditions!
Couple of random views from the extended walk to our local recycling bins. Lovely evening for it

Another crappy day in confinement But jokes aside, know we are super lucky to have this stuff in our 1km radius
Lunch @ Lac de Payolle. Beautiful day, beautiful setting, wonderful food/drink. Entertaining company. Good times!
Hike up to Refuge de Larribet. Lots of beautiful crystal clear water. Survived herds of wild animals intact! Phew!
Today's ride: Dodging cattle normally no big deal but when herd has young & giant bull present some care required!
Glorious day to ride the Col d'Aspin. Not much traffic but loads of riders out... and cattle... Moo! :)
Spotted on today's walk: I say madam, do you realise you have something in your hair?
Rest day stroll around La Villa - just a few paths & tracks on the edge of the village. Beautiful.
Today's ride: big col stats (100km/1,800m+ vertical) sans big col. Cruising endless miles of empty roads like this.
Village of Arties (Val d'Aran, Spain) seems to have a thing for bikes & colourful cattle. What's not to love?

Bit of a traffic jam in Sainte-Marie de Campan this morning! Mooo! More of the same up the Aspin. Glorious day!
Does winter riding get any better than this? Unbelievable day playing on the Col d'Aspin!
Well good morning! When you wake up to find the farmer has put cows in a field literally 3m from your front door!
Short stroll to check out our new locale. Love how the inquisitive neighbours look up from their morning snack
Another wonderful summer's day up near the Hourquette d'Ancizan. Always nice to stop & say hello to the locals.
Let's take a selfie! Oh... and another picture of the cows. Because you can never have enough pictures of cows!
I often ride this road but drove today. Traffic here can be tricky as you see. Imagine negotiating this on a bike!

Things to do this arvo, so little spin up the Aspin & to Lac de Payolle was all there was time for today. Oh well!
First evening back in the Pyrenees. Little walk around the new neighbourhood & introductions with the locals. Mooooo!
Early morning views around la Croix Blanche. More great trails & lucky cattle up here
As we're here: short walk up to the ridge & back. Funny how the cows pick a spot with the best view to relax, huh?
Woke up to this view right outside our front door. So beautiful! Misty hills down the road weren't bad either!
Gotta love a climb where last few kays are 10% pavé! Cattle here impressive too, esp. ones with the odd udders!
Hike up to Lac d'Oô. Lovely autumn colours & beautiful views. Pratiwi being brave with the locals too. Mooooo!
