I revisited the astounding Gorges du Nan, and then went to investigate the site of a major landslide that obliterated the RD1532 road last year.
Emulating a ride I did ten years ago, this was a 200-mile bike ride along the south coast of West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent. From Littlehampton to Rye
This ride to from La Chambre in the Maurienne valley to the famous Col de la Madeleine, turned out to be more of an ordeal than expected when I found the first way up blocked.

A forty-mile bike ride in the Jura, looping from Izernore, via Col du Sentier, Lac Genin and back though Oyonnax.
I climbed two sides of Mont Ventoux in one ride, first tackling the easy Sault ascent, followed by the more demanding one from Malaucene. Weather was perfect, if a little chilly..
