Disturbed night back not great, mind active, or or is it the wine or g&t only one way to find out.

Becoming used to the harsh reality that this trip is going to be very different to previous in past ten years less distance less physical.

Went on easy 20 km cycle today flat with Claire and Sophie near Lourdes to test my back out. A rail trail with easy nice MTB loops besides the river. On Pats 29er Titanium hard tail. Gosh how MTB design has changed since I last bought one.
Loved the feeling it rolled, well felt stable and had super handling - simple I want one. Looked up Spanish frame manufacturer…mmmm yes please but long wait time.
Back not too bad, perhaps
It’s the drugs, returning for big typical French lunch, baguette with lots of sheeps cheese and now obligatory nanno, which got rather extended…
Up and it was my now
Infamous sweet pastry tart cooking time…
Amazing Dinner outside again unseasonal warm weather, going to be 40 this week, washed down with a nice bottle of PF red that I bought in BdB speciality wine shop.
Finally it was fruit tart time, which has become sun ominous with my visits to BdB went down a treat and was pretty good even though I say so myself (more practice required).
Finally what better way to end an almost perfect day watching the woman’s cc MTB World Cup in Austria…good night my friends.
