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.

Run up through the gardens to Fourviere, descent via the staircase to St Paul which apparently has 796 steps. Weather kept the tourists at bay.

Race against tot on foot to the Fourvière, not entirely conclusive as we took the wrong route which made it slightly easier by bike.

Took the Montee de Choulans from Perrache, hard at first but it went by a flat I wanted to look at. Pleasant on top of Fourviere, 4C cooler. Descent always sporty due to poor 1970s braking.

First time out in shorts this season. Rode up to the Fourviere where there was a clear view of Lyon and pre-alps and even snowy alps just beyond.

I decided to attack the Fourviere hill from a different angle. Ride down the Rhone to the Confluence and then climb via la Mulatiere (the mule?) along a balcony road called the Chemin de la Fontaines.
