It’s really hard to beat, alright. It wasn’t what we had in mind but we’re quite happy with how this is working out.

It is, isn’t it? It’s really nice to be down in this country again. It’s too bad weather and health (and there’s probably a relationship there) pushed us south, but things could be worse than two months in autumn in southern France and Catalonia.

I’m really impressed with what a good base St Remy makes. In other circumstances we’d have been fine staying a few more days. I really think that’s the model we’re slowly working our way toward: find bases like this and stay for four or five days before moving on.

Good catch. And that’s correct - unless I’ve missed something, there are no ruined castles in Oregon.

Good to see Team Anderson reverting to their normal form. Walks, rides, exploration. So nice to read about! All that sitting around in hotel rooms had me worried about your health.

Scott, relative to Bill's note. One of your captions got auto-corrected from Orgon to Oregon. Unless there are ruined castles somewhere out west that I'm not familiar with.

That’s so funny. That didn’t occur to me at all, but now I won’t be able to stop seeing it either.

Looks like you are standing on a scale. Great Pic!

Looks like a great spot for some R and R. I had that planned on a loop ride from St Remy but felt we didn’t have enough time for our meetup I shortened it up . Well at least I know what we missed.

I can't help thinking Orgon is missing an e... every time I see it!
:-)

Yup.

Ah....Southern France!

Ventoux?

That's pretty nice! Glad to see your body is up for some climbing again!

Wow. Pretty area.

Looks like they might be a brassica of some sort? I’d hang out behind this fella too. Another typical French cycling experience.
