Road bike (on VTTs) over 6 cols in the central massif, france, from Allanche. Allanche has about 2 tractors for every one car. Did better than i thought i would on unfimilar bike after not doing a lot of biking

head to central massif with jordan, did some walking and scrambling in the cantal mts. Puy Grion, Puy Mary, Puy de peyre arse. 11.8 km ~1000 m 3hr 50 min.

We were orginal supposed to go to Normanday, but when the ex girlfriend got kicked out of the VW the trip improved somewhat, although alps or pyrenees still would've been nicer.

Bike to work

Home from work, did I mention before that france has the most MILFs ever, or maybe I'm jsut getting too old.

To work, strongish head wind

Home from work via river track, still have headache from dodgy, micro brewery beer last night. Dissapointed to see ross down as mp in the final, and chris suprisngly not to make from a tough heat, but he must of made mistakes too. Dissapointed to not see him run in the long qual, surely which must be his strongish discipline

To work, quickest yet, mainly due to Kaizan on the bike

MTB home, went with Cedric, got him to push the pace out the front, was good to go fast through the single track, apart from the small dogs that got in the way.

Swimming - French style
One large pool with no lanes and no order, bar everyone going up and down, with noone (suprisingly) trying to go sideways, no slow or fast lanes, and defintly no queeing, head down and swim agressivly to get them out of your way.

Learnt another critical french rule last night. You can park anywhere as long as you leave your hazards on. As evidenced by the car strewn accrooss the footpath on the way too the pool, still there 1.5 hr later on the way back home. Not to mention people parking on the roundabout, outside lane to go to the bakery.

To work and back, a new record time to work helped slightly be a tow along the river path. Managed to buy a new tyre on the way back, useless cheap bike tyre worn out already!!

To work, can't belive the back tyre has pretty much worn out after such limited use... Managed to fix most other issues in the weekend.

Back home along river. Not fun working french public holiday when the others have gone to the beach...
