16:42

Descent from Bielsa tunnel into France. Welcome home smile Nice drive up other side in Spring sunshine but no pics. Doh!

11:58

Riding through stunning autumn colours. Sometimes not all about the mountains, though they do look amazing today too!

11:53

Beautiful day for big cols but August weekend means lots of tourist traffic up there. 105km in the foothills instead!

15:01

Mates teasing me about lack of MTB action, so here you go: Bike. Dirt. Mountains! wink Just another day in paradise smile

11:17

Taking short break just a couple of valleys over involves driving up & over cols. Always great views from the road smile

10:34

Today's ride: just a little local spin in the foothills. What a day for it though! smile

10:52

Today's ride: what's wrong with this picture? Answer: not much! grin Beautiful spin even if a little 'lost' at times wink

11:22

Hike Col de Moulata to Hourquette d'Ouscouaou & snowline - ahem - wink Spectacular views. Picnic. Sunny perfection! smile

12:02

Licensed to... erm... 'take a brief trip close to home for individual physical activity' wink Beautiful day for it grin

13:23

Another amazing day for a ride. Jan/Feb this year been rubbish skiing but awesome on the bike! Swings/roundabouts wink

Today's ride: MTB spin in beautiful sunshine. 30km loop from home. Easy bar the 1km of vertical that came with wink

14:03

Cruise round the Argeles-Gazost valley this morning. Beautiful view as ever from Saint-Savin & perfect conditions smile

14:25

Yesterday I skied over 8000m vertical in the mountains in the background. Today riding in full summer kit. Love it smile

13:40

Pyrenees MTB: 13km@7.5% average. Outstanding view & brutal when out of shape! Time to smell flowers on the descent wink

22:21

Cruising hills just North of home. Mostly firetrail. Bit of sniggle. But hey, it's dirt & the views are magnificent!

00:09

Great to be back on the MTB! Almost 4 years since I last touched those bikes & they ride like new! wink Incredible! grin

16:34

Been too quiet lately & while things are looking up short walk is as hardcore as it gets ATM. View beautiful as ever.

09:06

We pass here all the time, but it's still worth a picture once in a while. That village below is Bagneres-de-Bigorre.

13:43

View from the terrace at our local golf club. Lucky one doesn't have to play or be a member to enjoy this smile Phew! wink

12:50

Today's ride: 'Sunny Tourist Loop'. While none of these roads are famous it's 'tourism' because I stopped for pics smile

11:33

Today's ride: foothills then Chiroulet, which is in the valley between the 2 main peaks in 1st pic. Beautiful day smile

A little further up the hill... feels like a scene out of The Sound of Music! wink So beautiful here grin

Not-so-random - ask me why wink - walk in the Pyrenean foothills. Doesn't feel much like winter here!
