A ride after the flooding this week. I decided to take the direct route over the top of Calluire et Cuire then descend down to Fontaines sur Saone.

First ski of the 2023/24 season. I only have my classic cross countries skis with me at the moment so the choice was quickly made.

Lunch tour over Mont Cindre with a Fourviere as a bonus. Fourviere and the city center had a very heavy police presence for the funeral of the former mayor Gerard Columb.

Couldn't keep improving. 30 seconds slower compared to last week but it was cold. Time seemed to be lost at the start, I was trying for negative splits.

I took a Ve'lov bike up to the Laurent Bonnevay bus station then came back on the towpath first along the Canal de Jonage which joins the Rhone river at Feyssine.

I'd been training for a 10K run (in 55 minutes) for the last two months, well three if you include illness. This is the longest distance I've run.

After yesterday's run a gentle tour out to the Mountains of Mont d'Or and the Mont Thou climb from St Romain. This is a very quiet hairpinned road that is never too steep.

Some PRsParc de la Tête d'Or (21:13) - previous 21m38sParc Tête d'or - Entrée Lycée du Parc - 1.

A tour around the Grand Large reservoir using Cross Skis or Skikes.

A lunch run to the hill of Fourvière between the rain storms, which are incessant this year. Run up ok apart from the end of the steep staircase and took a slightly longer route for the descent.
