Today's Ride

sunny, muddy, happy

Some kind of prologue today Avignon to Cavaillon. Mistral almost blowing you off the road.

Even though it looks like the sun, it's the moon

What a morning for it. Crisp 10-11 degrees, 7-8 in the dips. Light 8-9mph E breeze. Blue skies and super-golden sunshine-rise

A bit damp on top but perfect conditions really and I even managed an early morning @raidan73 spotted

Nort of the Luberon from Cavaillon - Manosque with a final 10 km descent

Was heading south to Brignoles today. Nice varied ride on french country roads, not too much traffic, through some lovely villages. Some long climbs I didn't expect but all doable

Lovely sunny day - seize it

My colnago took me back through a timeslip to around 1990.

One pump still using red LED display.
New brake blocks allowing confidence on the long smooth(ish) descent to usk after a long climb up through Wentwood

Somewhat uninspiring photos today but was a lovely easy ride from St Ives in to Cambridge and back, taking in a couple of cake stops! It’s amazing what a difference being in a cycle orientated place can make.






For those in the UK I found this site brilliant for coffee stop options. https://cafes.cyclingmaps.net/#close

Went east today from Brignoles to Frejus. Annoying ride, mostly on busy roads, and was finally happy to reach my hotel alive. The best part was having "dinner" at the harbour

Great memories of childhood holidays to that area, St Aygulf and St Raphael either side of Frejus.
