Are the pink poles to note edge of road , and/or snow height marker?

What a special day for you, David! It's still kind of a head shaker to me that you are over in France doing all of this. Nice that the two guys from Boston were able to help you with your photo documentation. What gorgeous pictures from your conquered col.

I carry a little USB charging hub so we can get by with just one outlet. On our bikes, only the Knog Scouts (tracker/alarm devices) and my Di2 need charging every few weeks and our little power bank does the job.

I was well ahead of Al when I bought my dual-suspension mountain bike (used, via Pinkbike, shipped to me from a seller in Québec) and it arrived with flat tires. I tried to pump them up as there were valves, but the tires weren’t seated and it took me a while to realize that there were no tubes! A visit to a bike shop to get them set up and lots of research ensued. I’ve mounted my own tubeless tires since then, at first using a Schwalbe Tire Booster device.

I definitely wanted tubeless when I got my titanium all-roads bike and haven’t had issues installing new tires, though itcan be a time-consuming endeavour. But, when Al got tubeless tires, he could never mount them with the booster device. I blame the his carbon rims. As soon as we were settled in our new place, we bought a small compressor. We have four bikes with tubeless tires so it was time (and we’d switch over our older bikes except that would mean replacing the rims…)

I think one of the reasons most dogs are so well-behaved in France and Spain and Italy is because they are so well socialized.

I’m interested in your planning a year abroad! Where are you planning to go?

At least you found the reason for the flat! Hopefully, it’s the last one.

You are smiling! That shows real resilience. What a miserable experience. Definitely type two and a half fun.

What a day! Such an entertaining account of your troubles, your chills and frustration were real! Hope things look up soon.

That’s our town, Limoux! It’s a shame we’re in Italy at the moment. We would have loved to meet up with you.
