My picture of the day-Where's yours?

I'm back in France for a few days, with my 85-year-old mother and a car. Weather's not looking great, but with this view it doesn't really matter.

I want to ride down that road!

 

[Threevok]

Really ? I wanted to ride up it

But I do down so much better than I do up.

I want to ride down that road!

Both ways are superb - it's a very moderate gradient with no steep ramps, an hour up and 25 minutes down, roughly.

Reckon I've probably done it more than 50 times now... wish I'd kept an accurate count. It's just 15 minutes from my front door.

It's all a bit psychedelic here now, despite the rain...

Hard to believe it’s November 1st

Windy day out there..

But totally worth getting out of bed. Today was some sort of holiday here.

The ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/1939512313 if you are too lazy to click it says 130 km and 1950 meters of climbing

Early morning ride to Bath along the cycle track from Emersons Green. Frosty start to what looks to be a glorious autumnal day.

I've been up in mid Wales where it was getting down to well below freezing at night, minus 8 in nearby St Harmon earlier in the week, which was the coldest in the country and coldest October evening for 20 years according to the local BBC news. Despite that this rose in a sheltered part of my mum's garden has obviously not got the winter is coming memo.

A fast ride to get ready for the weekend... https://www.strava.com/activities/1941592009

And my turn around point.

I have to fess up to cheating this week: the bike is staying dry, as I've got my 85-year-old mum with me, and her cycling days are long past. So I'm treating her to the autumnal sights of the area, on routes I'd normally be doing on the bike.

Having said that, I'm not minding too much being in a car, as the weather has been a bit pants up till now. Still, it brightened up in the end today. Briefly.

It's starting to look quite autumnal now - Golden Acre Park this morning:
