'Bank Holiday' Monday (26th August)

Renaming pubs, it seems, is nothing new
This one was renamed in July 1969!!
Previously it was the 'Man In The Moon'

However, in honour of the Lunar landings

Nice Burgers too!!

With hindsight, after re-reading that, they could have named it 'The Merckx', or similar, as July 1969, also saw Eddys first Tour de France win

I found the traffic terrible today. Something needs to be done. We need a bypass....

A slightly random trip to Llandrindod Wells today, so had to pay a visit to the National Cycle Collection. Obviously surviving on a shoestring, but well worth a visit. Also randomly, an old solid silver 30-mile TT trophy from Exeter Wheelers in 1939.

More disgustingly fine weather on the Pyrenean high route.. Just rocks and sky and water, vultures, and izzard.

. Not ideal cycling country, but fun if you enjoy a bit of scrambling

I'm heading the right way

Which lake is it? I spent a month in the Haute Pyrénées last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tbh I've forgotten.

So many beautiful lakes, over the last twelve days or so, mainly on HRP, / Alta Ruta.

Last nights pitch (above) by Estany de Baiau, in Spain on HRP.
Before storming the border.

Steep scree path up.
.. You can see why it's the frontier, you wouldn't want to bring an army this way.

I'm hoping the sun will make a reappearance here to warm the limbs on a ride later... in the meantime, from an autumnal stroll this morning:

Yeah it’s a nice example and a rarity around here in inland Southern California where you can’t “swing a cat” without hitting a JEEP (there’s one of those in MY garage in fact....right by my Brompton)

Bit difficult to work a bike into this one. Cross of St Andrew over Tobermory. We hitched on to the buoy to gut the catch before heading back in.

This isn't what was seen by the eye but the Sun caught the camera lens and made the photo a bit colourful:
