South of France. 40deg. Not a cloud. Day in, day out. Week in week out. Smooth empty roads. Heat. Dry. Mad dogs and Englishmen. Hard climbs lead to stunning views, cooling decents and well earned Oranginas. Love road rides in France. CX tyres on, road off. Forgot what dust was. Happy. So happy. Back to base for swimming in the river and dinner on the terrace. Perfect. Without a doubt, best rides of my life.
