Short tour of the Manival to please the tot. Very humid weather in the valley but fresh as soon as you climbed a bit.

I wanted to do a Grand Col but have tendonitis so this is the nearest thing within easy reach of the house.

A little lunch ride to turn the legs, about 1h10 for the loop and 28 mins for the climb, a bit off my PB but I haven't ridden much this year and it felt sufficiently quick.

First time out on my rebuilt Spitfire where I didn't get a puncture but at the same time I didn't ride on any gravel.

The ski resort of Chamrousse had decided to open the main gondola lift for the May bank holidays.

I've filed this under mountain biking but I was on a road bike with 28mm tires. A bit of gravel in the valley then a longish climb on gravel. This was more or less ok.

End of season crust skating on the plateau d'Emparis for a bit of fun.

Traditional end of season at les Arcs. We had monster snow fall a week ago but no sign of it now with lots of bare slopes.

First longish ride of the year, over 2 hours anyway. I benefited from a tail wind, which was nice and took in some lakes on the ride back.

A return to Miribel Jonage to see if there were some tracks I hadn't found on my last visit.
