What a beautiful ride this morning with Pratiwi. Stopped for many pictures and a slice (or 2) of cake in Brantes smile

Tuesday 1 May 2012

As it was covered in cloud, only shots from top of Mt Ventoux are pretty poor sad Nice views half way down though smile

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! grin

The cycling I managed around Anduze. All these roads well maintained & many traffic free. Lots of hills. Love it! smile

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 smile

Saturday 24 March 2012

Another beautiful ride up a cat 2 climb, then very technical descent and smash along this valley home. Perfect! smile

Beautiful ride today. After a week here passed my 1st Col sign. Many more impressive ones to come I hope! smile
