Today I had a surprise, late-season guided ride and the sun was kind enough to pop out for the entire time. The ride was great, if a little trafficky, and Gary (The Client) didn’t even flinch at the last climb up and over the mountain behind the Nîmes. Not bad for a guy who hadn’t ridden in months!

We finished our ride like all great ones should be ended – having a beer and a good chat on a sunny square.

Here is Gary and his wife Maureen, who was sensible and drank wine and went shopping while we were out in the hills. Bonnes vacances you two!
