I've had thunderstorms over night once and heavy overnight rain, but it's organised enough to stop during most of the day

Was it 50p and you had to use a spanner?

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

It was 50P and I paid it as he said he'd reduce the number of Hooli Humour* postings, well worth it in my opinion.
You can all thank me later.

Did col d'lseran today followed by Col de Bonnette with various others in-between. Bonnette is allegedly the highest paved public road in Europe. I say allegedly as about three claim the title. 9.220ft on my GPS is pretty high anyway.

I ran across the frog version of bike safe, run up one of the passes too.

Finished the day chasing a mad Italian down a canyon, Quinn can dance much better than I thought a Hardley ever would, somehow it's more fun doing it on the wrong style of bike.

Ended up too far south,. But I was enjoying the road and forgot to stop. I can see the med from here, I'm just outside Nice.

Pillboxes I think.

They seem to be quite a long way down le route di grande alpes. I assume germin prep for an allied invasion of southern france, but that's a guess.

The bare slope is col de Bonnette btw if you fancy googling it.
