Shut up legs

The Provençal life style is very fabulous but probably not the best preparation for the following day’s hillfest.




My somewhat random approach to route planning (let’s try north east today) can lead to a bit of a shock for the tree trunks and they were certainly not expecting to work that hard today! However, the sun was shining, the scenery was spectacular and my delighted senses overruled the complaining legs.







As a bit of advance warning for the tree trunks, there was a rather spectacular view of ‘the beast’. If the weather co-operates, the plan is to pootle my way up the infamous Mont on Saturday.

I was planning to do some more miles along the ‘Ochre’ bike route, but the legs were having a bit of a sulk so a shortcut was needed - shortcuts round here aren't exactly shabby.

After a chicken, chips and beer refuelling back in Roussillon, afternoon walkies provided a gorgeous view of the village from the vineyards beneath.

The support crew had fun in the market this morning and we have just opened a bottle of local rose to go with yet more pate and cheese - shut up legs!
