Some of R.Bardet's training roads in Cantal

the walk to the top is worth it but too long to be done with cycling shoes

Salers is pretty touristic

Good choice of knives and cheese

No amazing pictures like those ^^, nonetheless. It wasn't a nice morning (wind drizzle, etc) and the clouds hid the views... Guess I'll have to do it again. Togwotee pass in Wyoming. ImageImageImageImage

Amazing pictures Antoine!

I was on family vacation in the Cévennes the past two weeks and was able to squeeze my bike inbetween our camping gear. Managed to get 3 rides in, mostly by getting on the bike long before the kids woke up :)

Ride 1:

Ride 2:

Ride 3: to the Mont Aigoual, as written about in the book 'The Rider' by Tim Krabbé. Incidentally, I had never read the book and bought just before we departed for France and had no idea it was set only 40-50km from where we were in the Cévennes. Read the book and then rode to the Mont Aigoual. Already on the bike at 7pm and had to battle against the mist all the way up the Cause Mejean but the view above the clouds was fantastic. Oh, and 'road closed' really does mean road closed :lol:

This falls under "Should not be on the road today" as I had to leave a client site at 3pm in the middle of a heatwave.

Riding in the early hours feels better these days.
Commuting at its best.
Thats the view over lake zurich.

Despite the heat (30-35°) we'll ride #333km1d tomorrow. That means a big group ride on the longest day in the year. ImageImage
