2024 trip no.13: Girona
The fabulous Cap de Creus coastal ride from Figueres over to lovely Cadequés for lunch at a beach café, then back over via Roses to home through the warm, peaceful Empordà.
The value of a fully supported trip keenly felt by one with ride-ending di2 di2saster 70km from base.

Avenue Verte
London to Paris on the wonderful Avenue Verte for the fine people of @pengecycleclub .
Deoarting Dieppe on the glorious converted train line means that the first 40km is entirely traffic free, and the rest might as well be. Endless peaceful lanes speed us south for a night in a chateau near Gisors.

And, almost like we've never been away, we start the second half of season 10 back where we left the first half, back in the wonderful French Pyrenees for the next 6 days. 😍

Day 2 - Les Saisies to Brides-les-Bains. After waiting for the heavy rain to clear, the day starts with the big descent down to beautiful Beaufort, where the layers come off to tackle the wonderful but tough Col du Pré. Then on over the magnificent Cormet de Roselend. Descending via Bourg St Maurice with just the lovely Col du Tra up at Notre Dame du Pré before arriving at a very comfortable hotel.

The Ardennes day 2
A heavenly ride over the higher ground following the Eurvelo 5 route between the Meuse and Ourthe valleys. So much on deserted lanes and well-signed bike paths in perfect conditions.
Glorious!
