First Tourmalet ascent of the year. Last 3km closed to cars, but not bikes! 
As usual, sucks to be a car driver! 
Tuesday 3 May 2016
Cyclists should know this guy: He spends summer atop Col du Tourmalet but prefers to winter in the valley it seems 
Monday 2 May 2016
Busy day, but got out for lovely spring evening's spin in the Baronnies: tiny, quiet roads & plenty of punchy climbs!
Friday 29 April 2016
Ride from Lac du Salagou into the hills. Wonderful area with huge vistas & beautiful villages - like Lunas seen here.
Tuesday 26 April 2016
Post ride snack. Despite it being a bit nippy up Ventoux looks like I got a bit sweaty somewhere on today's route!
Tuesday 26 April 2016
When in Provence... 3° up top + 70kph wind chill equals completely numb fingers on the descent. Fun times!
Friday 22 April 2016
Today's ride: bit grey but always something interesting to see. This is on the dam wall at Stausee Kleine Kinzig.
Wednesday 20 April 2016
Quiet, smooth, twisty, rolling roads through beautiful nature & charming villages. I love riding the Black Forest!
Thursday 14 April 2016
Plenty of scope for CX training on today's ride By the beach & through wetland. And yes, those dots are flamingos!
Monday 11 April 2016
Today's ride: up a lovely little - 1,200m at the top - climb. Parc Natural del Montseny. Just North of Barcelona.
Thursday 7 April 2016
Ride from the Med coast up brutal climb (20%+ ramps), past vineyards, a castle & lakes. You know, the usual stuff
Monday 4 April 2016
Today's ride: Same route as last time, reversed. In 3½ hours riding only 34 sec difference - faster! 
#Consistency

Wednesday 23 March 2016
Shots from today's ride. Lovely roads but a bit arid around here. Higher you go, greener it gets though. Oh well!
Saturday 19 March 2016
Last ride of Winter today, a bit chilly: hardly drank a thing. Then again was only just over an hour #ThingsToDo
Friday 4 March 2016
Cycling in Serra de Llaberia. After most of winter in the Pyrenees, 3% gradient in warm sunshine felt like a joke!
Tuesday 1 March 2016
Today's ride: just random cruising through lots of beautiful little villages. This one is Orincles. It's nice here
Tuesday 26 January 2016
Today's ride: for a change here's the 'ugly' view looking North That's Saint-Savin on the left saving the shot!
Sunday 24 January 2016
Views of today's ride. Unseasonably warm so popped up the Col du Soulor - as you do Nice snowy view at the top!
Saturday 16 January 2016
Clouds cleared today to reveal what they've been working on: snowy peaks. Chilly ride, but beautiful all the same
Saturday 26 December 2015
Lovely sunny bike path cruise with Pratiwi. Then I nipped up Hautacam. You know, just because it's right there!
Friday 25 December 2015
Merry Xmas from the French Pyrenees! Still cycling weather here! Nice ride means guilt free gluttony is coming!
Saturday 19 December 2015
Today's ride in glorious sunshine: Col du Tourmalet. Well... as much as was possible. Didn't bring my skis!

Saturday 12 December 2015
Chilly 5-10°C riding today. Thankful for new gloves & booties keeping me warm Quick pic of the lovely val d'Azun.
Saturday 5 December 2015
Live segments test at Hautacam. Verdict: Absolute torture! Spectacular day: wearing shorts & just 2 layers up top!
Tuesday 1 December 2015
Today someone told me South of France was much like Aus in Winter. Weather maybe, but this view from today's ride?
Friday 20 November 2015
End of the road today: Pont d'Espagne. Clearly has more popular times but forecast to be snowed in tonight! Brrrrr!
Sunday 15 November 2015
Remember Tourmalet is 2115m up, amazing weather this week! Snow coming so cyclists: get up there while you can!
Sunday 15 November 2015
Col du Tourmalet today. Can you believe it's almost winter!? Few mins off a PB but came home strong. #CantComplain
Wednesday 11 November 2015
Not been riding much? Try 2xHC climbs (Soulor/Spandelles) when a little out of shape! Beautiful day for some pain!
Friday 6 November 2015
When old GPS & phone are both unreliable, what's left? Lucky only short ride today, but 10km of that was on pavé!
Sunday 1 November 2015
Gotta love a climb where last few kays are 10% pavé! Cattle here impressive too, esp. ones with the odd udders!
Sunday 25 October 2015
Random trundle around valleys in Northern Spain. Lovely & green. Nice hills too, descent back to coast great fun!
Wednesday 21 October 2015
This was the 'warm up' climb on today's ride: cat 2 up to Cahecho. Went on to Fuente De but got cloudy so no pics 
Saturday 17 October 2015
Rode up to Puerto San Glorio today. Wasn't going to but weather came good. Down to short jersey on the climb! #Toasty
Thursday 15 October 2015
Beautiful rolling hills inland from San Sebastian. Aside from the main road to get here wonderful riding
Saturday 10 October 2015
Stunning riding above Gavarnie today, on 40km climb to Col de Tentes! Final 11km is HC in it's own right! #Broken
Friday 9 October 2015
Relaxing in late aftenoon sun above Pierrefitte-Nestalas. Some tricky decisions to be made come morning! Hmmmmm
Tuesday 29 September 2015
Climbed up Port de Balès. 19kms that just get steeper & steeper! It's lovely! Descent to Luchon even more so!

Little 'recovery' ride this morning Climbed Portillion to Spain then Peyresourde. Love, love, love the Pyrenees!

Today meant to be all DH from half way so smashed up Mente & Aspet. Imagine my joy finding 2 more cols after that!
Tuesday 15 September 2015
Overcast & chilly in Odenwald, but out for nice loop anyway. Rolling hills mean nothing flat here. Great cycling

Rest of today's ride (Hildal to Hara): Stunning mountain pass left traffic free as main road now runs in a tunnel!
Sunday 23 August 2015

Might have got a bit sweaty on today's ride Only drank 2.5 bottles in 3.5 hours though as it's not very hot here!
Tuesday 18 August 2015
Today's ride: Vossevangen, along Hamlagrøvatnet (turns out this is largest lake in the area) & back. Very peaceful!

Monday 10 August 2015
