(It's a Sempre Pro. Not as refined as the Specialissima of course, but the geometry is precisely the same.)

Was in Exmoor (without bike. What bollocks.) two summers ago. Wonderful place.
Col des Champs is the pass in the middle of what I like to call the Barcelonette Loop, here from Pra Loup: https://www.strava.com/activities/625666890 . Probably my favourite route of all I've done. On the north side of the Col d'Allos I swear I heard Julie Andrews sing:

The Specialissima
Gylne Gutuer, the UCI 1.2 bike race I invented.

The lesser spotted hairpin bend, a rare sight in these parts! Finding one is a little taste of France come to England. Like the Pain au Chocolat in Lidl.

How many cars and bicycles have gone off the road in the lower-right corner?

Looked surprisingly undamaged. Most of them probably end up in the runoff area I was standing in to take the photo :wink:

A change of scenery for me. First ride in Phuket, Thailand. Found lots of short but very steep climbs. Oh and it is hot. Very hot!!

Hmmm.... I saw them earlier and they were typical (actually maybe even better than typical) Basilic photos of his usual spots. But now they're gone for me as well. Not sure what happened. Gorgeous pics that need to be up here.
