Normally i ride a fixed wheel on road in winter, but today was a test ride on my tourer after fitting some swanky #veloorange mudguards/fenders and some fat #continetal grand prix 5000 in 32mm flavour. All good apart from a tiny mudguard rattle which was easily fixed. I've wanted to do this for ages, but I had to use up my massive supply of part worn 25s first. As expected the 32s are a much nicer ride.

After 2 weeks in the UK with no cycling (and almost no social media either) my legs aren't exactly on fire. First ride out was a bit of a struggle with the gear I usually ride feeling unmanageably big, and the cold damp weather didn't help. But I've been here many times before and so I know that it'll be fine after a couple of rides 💪

During lockdown I came up with a mad idea to do a 100 mile (160km) gravel challenge. The route's pretty much sorted but I went out today to tweak the northern part adding some choice single-track. It's on June 17 if you want to join me, link in bio

Today the weather was absurd, worse than January, so I stayed in, spun some vinyl and caught up with some admin. This is from yesterday, crossing the Aveyron below Najac.

Our first group of gravel grinders for this year have gone home, but it was a fantastic week with great trails and great company. Sometimes I can't quite believe that this is my job 😍

We have lots of trails with dry stone walls on each side but this is by far the narrowest I've found

Rights of way can be difficult to figure out in Fr

Rights of way can be difficult to figure out in France, and this trail is especially ambiguous. I always try to talk to whoever owns the land, but I've never seen a soul in the hamlet just out of shot, but today my luck was in and I met the farmer who was super friendly and explained how it works on his patch. I don't worry too much for myself but I'll be taking customers this way in a couple of weeks so it's good to be sure.

We're off to the UK for a couple of weeks tomorrow which means no cycling for me 😭 So today I rode myself to destruction by struggling up all the steepest hills I know on my old steel fixie. This was taken just before the first big climb on the suspension bridge in Feneyrols with the chateau just visible behind.

I never get bored of taking photos here, but this is the first one with a rider (@robexbikedoc) in it. The pandemic meant no customers, so I had to make do with propping my bike up and shooting it riderless

I've often seen pics of these insane bikes being used to pace track riders before motorbikes took over. I've sometimes wondered if any survived, and it turns out this one, made in my home town in around 1900 is very much alive and kicking. It uses very weird chains which I've never seen before which are different to the old inch pitch I just about remember a few old guys riding.

Gariottes are a regular feature of the landscape here. They're shelters for shepherds, but this one is unusual. Mostly they're either piles of rocks having collapsed long ago, or they're restored to better than new condition. This one is neither. It's quite damaged but is still recognisable.

I often ride past these ramshackle wooden barns and sometimes post pictures of them. But I've only just realised that most of them were built as tobacco drying sheds. Tobacco isn't grown here these days so we're just left with a load of weird decaying barns.

Oh dear today's second half of my microtour didn't go to plan. The train I was supposed to be catching into the mountains was cancelled, it was pouring with rain and visibility was minimal. So I improvised a route, but threw in the towel at 2pm when, wet and cold I rode past a station with a train about to depart. No pictures worth posting, so here's a snowy one from yesterday.
