So after this little mise-en-jambe, time to head back home.

Route was slightly more northward, good mix of gravel road and unfrequented road. 1st part in Beaujolais mountains, last part in the plains.

The bike was good, maybe too stiff (I think it's aluminium frame and carbon fork). And single plateau definitely not enough.

Legs quite tired, arse on fire, stiff neck and painful wrists. Pbly some mild sunburns too.

Will do it again.

Lovely longrun.
All the cute froggies and toads are waking up again after their winter nap. Lovely to see/hear them around again.

There is a ancient proverb* here:

"Thou shall not comes by Claveisolles without summiting Soubran"

Need new legs

2 weeks ago did a run up Snow Creek in Yosemite. Forgot to post. @ai6yr post about another rattlesnake bite reminded me. The Western Rattlesnake below was on rocks chest high as I ran by, when it rattled, it stopped me cold and my brain gave me a good jolt of adrenaline before I knew what was going on. Good times.

My morning run was an easy run on the beach with some exercises mixed in: squats, wall sits and step-ups.
I also scored a squadratinho in the dunes that had been looking at me for some time now. And the cherry on the cake was a beautiful pre dawn sky.
