First century of the year. Went for a local favorite loop that crosses over the Gardon river in three different places. The most picturesque is in Collias (Gard, France )

Sock game, how about that shoe tie game? Interesting, I bet there is no pinch at the top with the laces tied to the bottom?
Let's finish the ride with a 20% grade.

They are actually wrapped around the sole and tied at the top, super comfy and secure

Exactly! I'v been heading from the States to Bormio every autumn the past few years and flying in and out or Zurich. I take this amazing train across the Alps - The Bernina Express. There are so many uncrowded and amazing roads we pass on the train down to Tirano. It really is a cyclist's paradise. Keep those photos coming Basilic and Kingtom.

Yesterday was the day for my early season target, the Dirty Reiver gravel ride in Kielder forest, Northumberland UK. Something like 450 starters on a sunny but very cold day. Distance was advertised as 200km, I measured it at 195km with 3400m of climb. A massive day for me.
