Testing some Decathlon slow wheels, boy are they sloooowwww. Probably quite good for training and exercises as they don't tend to run away but you need a lot of effort to get them moving.

Relaxing the legs after the drive over from France. Managed not to miss the short cut turn back to Orta this time.

The Col du Rousset is just of the Freydieres climb but the lack of surface on the north side means it is rarely visited by bike. Just two other riders on Strava, both on MTBs.

First time properly on inline skates for a long time.

A quick 45 minute lunch skate along the Isere cyclepath. Not many people around. Tired legs from yesterday so really just taking it easy.

I was on classic skis. The sand layer is still omnipresent below 2000m, the second it warms up the new snow melts. For all the talk of "endless winter" and great conditions it is not as good as 2019.

First rollerski of the year, felt a bit like bambi for the first km on the skinny wheels but soon got back into the stride. No PRs but not a bad overall pace of 3m40/km, about 10-15% off fastest pace.

It snowed a couple of days ago but with a strong refeeze conditions seemed good to try some crust skiing and cross over to the Grand Rocher from Pipay.

The route forms part of the "71" cycle network maintained by the departmental of the Saône et Loire.

A short ski tour with tot to get some exercise before lunch. Excellent skiing conditions in the border cross with the fresh snow. Lots of people from all over the place despite the lockdown.
