Rain rain and more rain, then into the hills over Switzerland towards Annecy. Grenoble tomorrow, and hopefully drier roads.

Great piccy considering its snapshot of your video. Fingers crossed on some dry weather for you, but even in the wet it looks like a great trip.
That it does, sure as hell beats work no matter what..

Just got the thing back a few hours ago having replaced the rear lights and it's picked up a nail! The tyre was barely a month old too frown

Rain abated, and roads drying out all today. Did another 250miles through the mountains and stopped through the Combe Laval - my first time there and it's properly stunning - the pics don't do it justice.

Er, no. Plenty of space. It was a very sedate run given the very slippy conditions with loads of tree droppings.

And again. The lack of humour in this forum is astonishing.

The roads are brilliant, Andy! Still had plenty of fun in the wet. Tomorrow is looking a lot warmer around 20C (it was down to 3C today with snow earlier at the top!) and drier too... Gorge du Verdon, Mont Blanc, and other parts of the Route Napoleon and the coast over the next few days.

Naa, you're not sorry, you're sitting there in your underpants eating sugar puffs with the curtains partially drawn with a cigarette smouldering in an overfilling ashtray laughing your head off while high fiveing fresh air...


...maybe.

That looks amazing! I could ride my bike all day doing stuff like that! Dont always need to be scratching your knee on the floor to have fun. I've already said next year Im skipping IOM and will be doing a week out Europe trip

Enjoy!
