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.

For #throwbackthursday here's a shot from my 2009

For #throwbackthursday here's a shot from my 2009 ride in Kyrgyzstan. Something I always like in ex Soviet countries are the random public monuments you encounter on the road. Sometimes the purpose is obvious, it might be the most extravagant bus stop you've ever seen, a statue or maybe a sign. But sometimes it's completely impenetrable, at least to me, like this huge arch randomly placed on a road in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure it does have some significance really, but to me, a foreign bike tourist rolling through, it was like a mad apparition in the wilderness.

Riding around here you sometimes get startling vie

Riding around here you sometimes get startling views of Cordes sur Ciel, which is a medieval citadel perched on a rocky outcrop. Unfortunately I've never managed to take a decent pic of it, so here's a rubbish one.

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

Winter has returned with a vengeance. Suddenly it's weirdly cold, windy and wet, so out came the winter bike again. I don't think I've ever ridden my fixed in Najac because of all the hills, but to my surprise it was OK.

There are chateaux all over the place here and often they're not especially expensive. But they're impossible to heat and cost a fortune to run, so I think we'll be sticking with what we've got.

I woke up this morning to a very nice surprise - I've just passed 5000 followers 😃. It's quite a milestone and I'm really grateful to everyone who's made it happen 😍😍.

On a hideous day spent dealing with a flood caused by a freakish plumbing incident, here's a pic to cheer me up. 2007, Tibet. Good times.

For #switchbacksaturday here's Rob not quite making one of 6 or 7 hairpins on the way out of the village. It's a bit unfair to show this one, he rode around loads of others easily...

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.

I had assumed there were no decent pics of my rain soaked, zero visibility ride yesterday, but this one turned out OK. I especially like the colour of the Gave de Pau 😍

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.

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.

These metal cupboards full of electrical stuff are so ugly, getting someone to paint them like this should be done everywhere. Hopefully this one is the first of many
