Riding and photographing with Moots in the alps

[Augustus]

Here are a few photographs I made on a spur of the moment trip into the alps with dear friends Moots after the Eurobike show a couple of years back.
I had cameras and a Land Rover, they had bikes, made sense. We photographed a ride then the next day we rode. What a good spur of the moment idea it was.

Apologies for the bucketload of pics.

Thanks for looking.

That's a mixture of the Furka and St Gotthard passes. The cobbled one is the Gotthard, it's incredible, cobbled all the way up.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry to be posting so much older photography but it's all i have to do to be honest in hospital.

Thanks again.

You're too kind. It's kind of all i have to do here in hospital so they're all all until i am allowed to work again one day. :-(

Re:

Fantastic photos and you've also inspired me to buy some Moots socks

Sorry if this has been covered in another thread- have you injured yourself cycling? Hope recovery goes well anyhow.

No apologies, not covered no. Yes, I was in a bad cycling accident in my native Pre-Pyrenees on a col in July. So it's been a long hospitalisation. But occasional internet connection means I can upload instead of watching bad French TV.
