Today I rode the "Routes des Ventoux" cyclosportive. Pretty epic.

I take LOTS of photos while cycling. And occasionally I even take a good photo or two. But when riding in Cyclosportives or along famous climbs there are often professional photographers along the route. Need help posing?

We may not be fast, but we are determined. The biggest ride of our lives by far! Wow! Yesterday, Martin and I rode La Marmotte. 175 kilometres (108 miles) and 5,000 metres vertical ascent (16,400 feet).

Wow, I am tired! Attracting several thousand riders, the Time-Megeve cyclosportive is one of the bigger cycling events in France.

There may not be a better base in the French Alps for cycling than Barcelonnette. It is literally surrounded by mountains looking to be climbed.

That funny white thing with wings is a giant monument to the French Resistance. Glieres was a major base in WW2 for the Maquis.

It's True.
