And so to Die...

A bits & pieces day... a bit in the garden, tidying up and a quick mow while not too hot, a few things to buy in Die (salad stuff, and an inner tube and tyre for the Lapierre gravel bike, so it's ready for the Christmas/New Year stay), and a short diversion in the Laval d'Aix direction to get there.

And as it's another day when the temperature between 8am and the afternoon is 20C+, I've no retreated back into the house for the afternoon!

Just a short one

I decided to do just a short local ride on the Colnago today, along with some bits of gardening, before the heat of the afternoon. Remarkably it went from 12C at 8am to 37C by 4pm, which even for here is quite impressive. Anyway, as expected, the cool start brought crystal-clear air and fantastic blue skies, so a lot of photos were taken!

Marignac-en-Diois

Short road rides are limited in possible variations round here, so as I needed to do a little shopping today, I took the Moustache e-bike over the Col de Romeyer and via Chamaloc and the gravel road to Marignac, to remind myself of how pretty it is. 

It is.
