My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[briantrumpet]

Brian,

That really does look a spectacular ride. It's a real shame that we couldn't fit it in last year!

It's out of this world. It's best to ride it top to bottom if you can, as the craziness just gets better and better. It feels a bit safer now that they've raised the height of the wall in a few places! The photos still don't do it justice. BTW, I've got a Facebook Page where I put all my French riding stuff, if it interests you: https://www.facebook.com/unanglaisendiois/

Note to self: visit Vercors region when the Alps get "old".

Do it sooner rather than later! But I'd probably not want to stay on Vercors itself, as the weather can be 'interesting', even in the summer: you need to pick your days carefully. There are several 'must ride' roads: Col de Rousset, Gorges de la Borne, Route de Presles, les Gorges du Nan, le Canyon des Ecouges, Col de la Bataille... all quite breathtaking. And if you're into WW2 history, the place is awash with it. Stunningly beautiful, and also moving.

A cruise ship anchored in the middle of the Sound of Mull. Strange place to anchor. Hope one of the bulk gravel carriers does not come up as they are constrained by draft and would not even notice the bump. The other boat is the ferry from Castlebay heading for Oban. Ben Hiant and the entrance to Loch Sunart behind on the right.

Bank holiday day out in Blackpool not complete without a trip from one end of the line all the to other and back on a vintage tram.

One of the slightly bonkers tunnels in the Gorges des Gâts yesterday - you can just see my bike for scale.

Just been out for a ride and I don't know how, why , what or when this picture was taken !

Pam took this just after Tara the mutt chased Molly the mutt straight through the muck and splatting me with it.
Friggin mutts!

Last 'insane road' photo for now... heading back to Devon today

This is the Gorges de la Bourne - a 'must ride' road, if you're ever near.

Bumble bee takes flight from a teasel

 

[Shearwater Missile]

This sunflower is a rogue one which has grown in a tub containing a Photinia (Red Robin). How the seed got there is a guess but probably dropped by a bird. When the seedling started we had`nt a clue what it was so just let it grow.
