  • Don’t forget the pastis ;)

    I was on my way with the plan to recreate this photo i took in septmeber some years ago, just with flowering lavender this time:

    When i got there, turns out at this spot the lavender field is no more, haha. Photos taken at Col de Soubeyrand.

    There was a lavender field a bit higher up, but it was not flowering much yet, i guess too high up.

    I am in La Motte Chalancon now, heading north, barkeeper tells me if i cycle past the next mountain, i will have left the Provence.















  • When i saw this ad, all i thought was ecstasy, rave and playstation. Not “women are sluts” or anything like it. If i didn’t get the reference, i probably would think the same about the ad as her. I don’t think she got the reference, not after her initial comment.

    Tongue out with ecstasy on is something you would see at raves. The eyes up is odd i give you that, that’s made to look submissive, and sure there are sexual connotations, advertisers are clever.

    But raves were also not some sterile asexual gatherings either. I don’t know.








  • Bought one about two weeks ago. Usually i like having a paper map on my cycling trips, but on long ones it’s getting too many maps, so i didn’t bring any. Then i met some italians with a map and next day i bought one myself. I think it’s much better to see where you are at and how you move than on a phone.

    Also kinda like the “scenic routes” marker in the michelin maps (although that’s also on their online maps). It was a midi pyrenees map, but i have already ridden out of it, going to send it home.
