Ah ok.
That's about a 3/3.5 hr drive from me over here on the west coast of FL.
Looks like an awesome track though!

 

Not such a beautiful day to ride a bike.....

..... the first time I had worn these shoes apart from in the shop




And despite the modern shoes the bike was nearly 50 years old, "enjoying" a Veteran-cycle Club ride in June 2012

 

The trail that goes over the bridge in the background is The Lodes Way, part of National Cycle Route 51.

And earlier in the week I'd been experimenting with a polarising filter on a camera and happened to catch something dropping into this little pool. So many rings!

 

Related - Tidying out the loft this afternoon and came across this original poster, totally forgotten I even had it

 

North Road bars! Yes very nice, only had one bike so fitted but liked them. And the new-fangled "spokeless" wheels. Why did they never catch on?

What is this "tidying" of which you speak?

 

In our case the loft tends to be where assorted articles go to spend the rest of there days and eventually there is no space left so we tend to get a bit brutal and decide what do we really need/want to keep ?
Articles usually end up at the local charity shops with advice as to worth.

 

Anyone watching the Tour?
I don't have cable and cant really find a way to watch it without paying NBC Sports like $55!

 

The British ITV4 channel shows every stage in full, except for ad breaks, I don't know whether it's available on-line. You could also look for French channels that are also on-line, IIRC it's Canal 2 on French TV.

There is also text & photo coverage at live.cyclingnews.com

 

A training day in the Surrey hills, with slight diversions to Summer Lightning, Barry knows Best, Telegraph Road and Yoghurt Pots for the lols.

 

Climbing on vacation

 

Pretty much every day is a good cycling day when you live in a flat country... Assuming it doesn’t rain too badly.

My near-daily commute:

 

My two wheel daily driver...



Note the hemp twine chain stay protector.

 

This is such an awesome image, not to mention an impressive and inspiring elevation gain! Where is this?

 

Descent from Moosalp to Stalden in Switzerland.
Great climbs, great views, great watches

 

I bet your climbs also have accurate names...from Saturdays adventures in Surrey:

 

Lol the climb from Visp to Moosalp would be classified as a big f***er

 

Cheeky revision procrastination session in the forest this evening to check some bolts . The Patriot really does weigh more than a filing cabinet.

 

4 out of 5 ain't bad
