Yesterday the wife and I went on the same ride as I did with the PJPC bike club, we went for the 'Tour de Lac de Serre Poncon". We had a glorious day's weather and the roads once past Savine le Lac (about a quarter the way around) were completely quiet. Lara was very vocal in telling me that she does not like head wind! I think this was Lara's second longest ride ever (second to competeing solo at 10 more at Moray race 2 years ago) at 120km. Which she seemed to do pretty effortlessly and was not walking funny this morning......... Unfortunately I did not carry the camera, I need to work out a way of attaching it to my bike somehow.
Today she decided she wanted to do some gardening. Today I decided it was a good day not to spend with the wife. So I grabbed my ipod and my mountian bike and headed off. Once I had got up to te Col Bayard I realised that I had picked up the wrong map for where I was. So off I went on a blind mission. I ended up wading through rivers, carrying my bike up scree slopes on my back, getting my shins ripped off by thorny things, and being chased by amorous cows ( I swear they were going to kill me, I don't like cows unless they are cooked and on my plate). All in all I had a brilliant ride and found some really good trails, just have to work out how to get to them with out the wading / carrying & cows! Again I did not take any pictures, I think the music was making me a bit carried away and I never stopped!
Tomorrow we are off to Italy to go and ski tour around the Grand Paradiso National park for 8 or so days, So there will be no more updates until then. So till then have a good week D&Lx
