For the return to Lyon I thought I'd explore the city center on rollerskis a bit. After a loop of the park to warm up I headed through the tunnel Modes Doux than over the Saone.

A couple of minutes off my March 2022 time but it was probably colder 10C on the climb and 12C in the valley with drizzle. However a PR on the flat section, a phyrric victory :-).

It has been a while since we've been up to Aix les Bains, last year the petrol costs were off-putting plus too many other distractions. S-N along the lake into the wind was not bad at 3m46.

Took a while to get warmed up. The road is pretty rough, the spring gravel has achieved nothing and there were some big stones that have rolled off the verges near the start.

After a warm up managed to bring my time around the Parc de la Tete d'Or down to 12m47 (under 4m/km) and climb up to 6th place on Strava.

A couple of tours around Lyon's Parc de la Tête d'Or but then it was getting busy so decided to test the new cycle path which has been redeveloped along the Rhone before crossing the Pont de Lattre de

Back to rollerskiing. Skating for a change after a lot of classic before the non-season.

Testing my new ghost 14 shoes.

Return to running after a two week layoff. Testing my old Decathlon KALENJI RUN 100 8 euro shoes (ok they are 12 euros today).

Very slow going except on north facing pistes with a bit of slope. Some not unreasonable powder on the Kamakaze slopes.
