Posted in what are you doing not where did you ride thread. Now corrected!
Today I've been mostly reminding myself why I love living here. 4 miles out from the start, I crossed a World Heritage site, the Canal du Midi. The white line in the far distance are the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees.




45 mins later I rode over La Clape, a small range of hills between Narbonne and the sea. Over on the right is Gruissan, in front of me is Narbonne Plage, and out of shot to the left is St Pierre la Mer. The Med is not far away as the crow flies, I'm 160m above it. The photo really misses the point. Sorry.



Ride along the coast road (some cycle path provided!), in to St Pierre for a coffee at a restaurant owned by a friend. He's 100m from the beach.



By the time I'd got back up to the top of La Clape on a different route I knew that with my current fitness, I was stretching my limits. Home past Nissan and one of the longest occupied sites in Europe (over 6000 years continuous occupation), past Poihles (pronounced Poy) and home.

To cap it all, I took Frank the pirate out (1990 Holdsworth Corsair with original Biopace... ) and enjoyed it so much I'm having 2nd thoughts about selling him on in Spring.

If you all have half as good a day as I'm having so far, you're doing pretty well!
