Col de l'Espigoulier

Col de l'Espigoulier

An afternoon’s ride-out to the Col de l’Espigoulier (723 m.) to enjoy the hazy sunshine and air at 27°. By no means the only bike out for a session on this fun road just outside Marseille. Photo-bombed as well as out-run on the road while I was working on lines and apexes. Also, keeping the speed well down and being very careful as this was the afternoon following a dawn flight from Heathrow. The usual battle with the Marseille traffic was worthwhile!

And wearing my two-zip leathers that got me to the Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße and Passo dello Stelvio (2758 m.) from the 2017 GLME Summercamp in Imst, Austria. The suit’s heavy by 2024 standards but fits snug with several elasticated panels.
