We’ve cycled around this beautiful area for a couple of days, looking at it looking down at us but this morning Mt Ventoux we are coming for you 😁🚴🎉 #cycling #bikesky

Just after sunrise cycling in the Camargue I was treated to this spectacular show. Swallows feeding on the wing in huge numbers gathering for the migration to sub Sahara Africa in a few weeks from now. Made starting at dawn to avoid the heat so worthwhile #cycling #cyclinglife #bikesky

In the Camargue now & it’s so hot I started my bike ride at 7.30 am. 48 miles round this interesting area. 23 degrees when I left, 33 degrees at 11.15 am when I finished

What is this ?? I’m on a bike ride in the Dordogne and came across this field with five of these wooden structures placed on the edge of the field and equidistant apart . I just wondered what they were for if any of you know or can hazard a guess?

Another free water source in those Villages that have been there since medieval times. Their only source of water back then is often still working

When at our French Friends’ campsite in the Dordogne I was delighted to see a big jug of good old British Custard - in anticipation of the Apple Crumble it turns out it was a candle 😂😫

On today’s ride. I was looking forward to seeing a castle in the shape of a giant Camembert but sadly it’s just the name of the village

A tip for anyone cycling in hot weather in rural parts of Europe, if you’re running low on water. Many small villages have their own Cemetery and there’s always a cold water tap 👍 Got me out of trouble in France today 😁🚴 Campsites also but these Cemeteries are numerous.

Cycling in rural France is good for the soul. Roads usually devoid of cars , spectacular Chateux, Sunflower fields, sleepy villages and lovely old buildings adorned with flowers. Definitely one of my favourite kinds of terrain to ride my bike 🚴☀️😁

A little reminder here that we are all capable of more than we may think. The spirit of adventure can be intoxicating so don't let the likes of Bear Grylls hijack the word - Adventure is what you make it, so why not define adventure for yourself and enjoy the ride !! 🚴‍♂️ ❤️ 😁 youtu.be/kewOJ53JfvY

Cycling keeps me young in mind & body & “young at heart” especially when a lot of it is done with inspirational older riders like Eric here today who’s 87 in August & still rides 100 road miles every week Such a pleasure & an honour to share my hobby with people like Eric 🚴😁

To be fair, it also applies to cyclists passing pedestrians but would be a useful exercise for some of the car drivers who have close passed me recently

Thinking of doing the UK Velo New Forest 100 Sportive on 7th June & waiting til near the date to check the weather forecast I guess I should book it regardless but if the forecast suggests likelihood of rain all day I just wouldn’t want to do it ? Thoughts? Pathetic or Sensible ?

Great Sunday cycling in the Netherlands. Always thought it must be easy as it’s flat but the wind howled , no hills means no downhill so always pedalling. Flat cycling for almost 100 miles I’ve discovered is NOT easy ! #cycling #bikesky

This is what Cycling to be “at one with nature” looks like these days. Totally sick and tired of seeing this, what the hell is wrong with these ignorant selfish people? A discarded bed & just one mile away from the Recycling Centre Is it just the UK ? Does this happen elsewhere ?

Good Grief, how did this happen? I’m now the same age as some “old people” ! Resisting the call though to change my moniker to “Old Bloke On A Bus” though 😁

When drivers complain about cyclists slowing them down I must keep reminding them that it's actually other drivers slowing them down. #cycling #urbanplanning #commuting

Cycling to watch my grandchildren play football the other day, I went past a derelict building expecting to see the usual mess of paint and graffiti . If this is graffiti then bring it on 😁 Feel free to share such "graffiti" you have come across on your rides 👍🚴‍♂️
