Yesterday I went out for a ride in the Monts du Lyonnais, an area I know fairly well, but I have never actually ridden the famous lacets de Courzieu which have a certain reputation among local riders

No snow for cross country so a little cycle ride to blow out the work cob webs.

After a failed outing yesterday. Every time we gained a little altitude leaving Lyon, we ran into blizzards of snow, but today the weather was clear, sunny, and cold. Very cold, with a breeze.

A Murianette with a vam of 700 with the very steep climb of Rocharey added to the end.

Lunch ride to cover a few kms before the vacation. It was actually a bit more climbing than I expected, around 700 meters.

My old morning or evening commute route. I was WFH so did this as a lunch ride as I couldn't be bothered to get up early. VAM of 825m/h for 30 minutes including a stop to give a lady directions.

Little afternoon ride before the TdF finish.

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

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.

Bizarrely the motor race that blocked me last time I tried to ride the Signal de St Andre was on again this weekend. Luckily they were elsewhere on Friday but I was concerned I would be stopped again.
