On mornings where I felt like starting the day with some solitary pedaling it was easy to find a gap in between groups of riders, giving me a chance to spend a little extra time in my own head. The inverse was true as well, and new friendships sprung up as we chatted about our lives on the long transfers between stages. |
Plunging into that salty sea was the best part of the day, and as I floated on my back, the cool water washing off the layers of accumulated sweat and dust, I reflected on the week of amazing riding that had just concluded. I still didn't quite believe it was over, and part of me was prepared to get up the next morning and keep the eat, ride, eat, sleep routine going. |

We have a descent with up to 143 switchbacks in a row (called The sewing machine), and you can find good instructors also if you have issues with switchback.
I will never forget the trip and the drop into Roubion (wheelie by the church) was ear to ear grin. Memories for a lifetime, thanks for sharing the story and amazing photos.
There are some brilliant photos here. I think the rider in black airing it out in front of the tree branch should be up for photo of the year - perfectly timed, composed, and it has so much good vibe to it. I'm also curious about the starry night over the tents. It looks like a composite of several different exposures. How did you get that?
