I've posted this picture mainly so you can all criticise Miller's bartape/fork colour mismatch :D

This was from the road bike training session at Palmer Park velodrome in Reading, UK.

unseasonably warm here (11 deg. on Salève at 1300 m); bad for skiing but good for cycling
More repetition!

Lol and I thought that was adequately covered already. At least I'm on the front, however briefly.

Basilic.....you can repeat all day if you'd like because that is simply stunning. I hope that one day I get to ride on those roads.

9th day of training camp today and I'm at 45,5 hours of riding. Incredibly my legs and body were actually capable of finishing a five hour ride today with some 10 minute FTP efforts.

This picture is some kind of funky. How far is it down to the ground below the cloud tops?

HT: not exactly. The Salève is an elongated mountain on an NE/SW axis, with a dip in the middle (so 2 summits, with the col de la Croisette between them). A road runs along the main crest, another crosses at the Croisette. The picture of the Mt Blanc was taken as you reach the 1st summit from the NE, above Monnetier. The picture with the clouds was taken as you start descending the 2nd summit to SW, toward Cruseilles.
Just pack your bike and come ride this mountain, you've seen enough of it!

The Thames at Henley is a bit higher than usual, but not quite as bad as yesterday...
