Ortlieb packs, of course. Helmet off, in foolish Dutch style.
2 years agoThe vine pruning in this field is confusing. What are all the fine branches doing?
2 years agoA five star biking day. Thanks for sharing it!
2 years agoYou're killing me with these rocks. This is a really nice dolmen.
2 years agoOh man, I'm definitely retracing this ride someday.
2 years agoYay! A menhir!! I love them!
2 years agoShouldn’t be a problem. Just swing by some night with your LHT and pop it in your pannier.
2 years agoI couldn’t find anything about the town itself, but the windmill was restored fifteen years ago after being regarded as a ruin for almost two centuries. I was surprised by the cross also, but the wall structure is a style often seen on old roads here.
2 years agoYes. Dumb luck, which I specialize in. I was just looking for the route that promised the best protection from the wind.
2 years agoSo much cultural history. The windmill and its style of construction, the Germanic (to my eye) looking cross, and the stone wall, with the top stones being laid vertically rather than horizontally. Makes me wonder about the people who've lived here.
2 years agoLove all the elements of this photo, the cat appearing as though it is pondering its shadow, the tree shadows, and the nice-looking water pipe access.
2 years agoOh, my! What a view!
2 years agoWow! Wish we had something like this for our side yard rock garden.
2 years agoI think Scott’s just like that. Every one of his journals has many “best of the trip” descriptions. Certainly not a jaded fellow!

Your ordinary day at the office touches lightly on some details that I usually agonize at length over. Maybe you can elaborate a bit for me:
2 years ago1. You seem to imply that you write the long, well crafted, picture filled, RWGPS tracked, Rachel video enhanced blog entry in the morning, maybe over a cup of coffee, and while conversing with a host in a foreign language. If you say, "well, yeah", then I am hanging up my heavily pounded thru the night keyboard!
2. Faced with an obstacle, you consult "the map". Do you just happen to have a Michelin Regional for this area, appropriately folded and ready for action?
3. Finding something interesting in Moureze, you decide to come back. Did you book two nights in Lodeve because you predicted something like that would happen just here? Did you already know that Lodeve would merit some extra time? I haven't read the Lodeve page yet, so right now I know nothing about it.
