I'm really enjoying following your journey and admiring all the beautiful photos.
I was curious as to which GoPro you are using as last fall my GoPro 8 started acting glitchy to the point of nonfunctioning. A bit annoying as we were in Mexico at the time and had to wait until our return to Canada to return it for a replacement. So far, fingers crossed, the new one is working well.
From Rachael: That’s him! That’s my buddy - a good pet. Thanks, Bill!

Looks like it... Also seems to be fairly common in France.

We visited Grenoble, Chambery, and several other cities along the Isere in 2019, on what may have been our final European tandem tour (the organizers have shut down their business).
When in Grenoble I was still suffering after-effects from a bad plane ride so we didn't ride, but we did take the overhead "bubble" cable cars up to the fort.
You're right about the countryside being spectacularly attractive, and a surprisingly non-taxing ride (for the most part). We made extensive use of the bicycle path network and enjoyed it a great deal.
Thanks, Suzanne. It was a brilliant ride, alright. Hope all is well with you.
2 years agoThe Vercors is a brilliant area for riding, if you’re not too troubled by hills and heights. A place to put on your list when you’re ready for Western Europe again.
2 years agoWhat a brilliant loop! I'd say that was enough miles and vertical feet to classify it as very challenging. Internet isn't too great where I am now, I'll be looking at the pictures when home.
2 years agoWow that looks like a great ride! Wish I had your route planning skills 😅
2 years agoWe went to the Vercors after both you and Jacquie, based on your journals, and we also, can’t wait to go back.
2 years agoI'll give it to you but next thyme get a closeup.
2 years agoSo I’m possibly right this thyme?
2 years agoWhat a great idea! Too bad it wasn’t to be this time.

I have the Hero 9 black. It really is great and the image stabilization is amazing! I can bike on a really rough road and it will smooth it out. I unfortunately dropped it awhile back so I need a special tool now.
