Here and there
Near Cassis - east of Marseille. A superb place to visit. Cycling limited to three options

1. Downhill at speed wishing I had disc brakes.
2. Uphill slowly wishing I had an e-bike.
3. Uphill slowly ruining my cleats by walking.

A pootle out to Shiplake today via Sonning, along the Thames path

Had a chat with a fella on the same route, he was on a Brompton. Pretty hard going on my MTB, what with the lumpy and bumpy paths, so fair play to him.
This time last year it seemed to rain every day - the Thames path was unrideable for me on many sections due to mud and flooding.
This year complete opposite, bone dry and a joy to be out and about.
 
As posted in the training thread, I rushed home from work last night to take advantage of the extra light and the mild evening well it was mild enough for sleeves and shorts with knee warmers, until I stopped to take a few pics. I resisted the urge to stop earlier and capture the more impressive scenes and didn't stop until I got close to home. I got frost bite taking these.

It was quite windy but a warmish wind.

I'm glad I only went out for a short walk tonight and not another ride as the wind now has a Northerly element and its 🥶

'Only' 25 miles today but included a ride up a local hill called white horse bank...a real killer so well pleased for getting up it. First time on my latest bike.

I did notice that, according to my watch, my heartbeat peaked at only 143. It has before peaked at 153 so maybe I took it easier than I thought.
