Yesterdays short mountain bike ride turned into a bit of an adventure! The temptation to explore new trails even when the light is limited. Found a great new bit of single track in the bottom of this gorge which could have been a location from an Indiana Jones movie! Needless to say I got home in the dark, thankfully the moon was out!

Came across this cool structure on my Sunday cyclo cross adventure; called a Vigie its a fire control tower that looks across the edge of Vaucluse. The fact that its attached to the ground with steel cables gives you an idea of how windy it can get up here.

Mud is a rare commodity in Provence! However I do have a good spot where you can generally find some if there has been some rain or snow in this case. So far not the best mud tyre but they did shed well once back on the firmer ground. All round performance on hardback excellent and felt pretty fast too.Testing to continue...

The first day of normal weather following the Mistral howling and some snow! Got do some single track riding, this little section is seriously steep and with some big loose rocks thrown in for good measure! All good fun!

Yesterdays ride! Nice to start on some dirt with a nice view of Ventoux in the background, finished in the dark after 85km, 1600 metres of climbing and getting chased by the fastest dog ever!

This picture my father took on the famous Koppenberg in 1977 Tour of Flanders. Nicknamed “The Gypsy” because he was born into a family of traveling clothiers. His skill as a cyclo-cross rider made him an expert on the cobbles of northern France and Belgium. De Vlaminck went on to win the race amongst some controversy 2nd and 3rd placed riders were both later disqualified. Wearing the now iconic Brooklyn kit I was a proud owner of one of their team caps as a kid.
