A lap of the Lac de Sainte-Croix

Pont du Galetas, Lac de Sainte-Croix
Pont du Galetas, Lac de Sainte-Croix

A day out twisting the throttle and grabbing the brakes on my CBR600RR in almost ideal riding conditions, low wind and low twenties centigrade. Bit of uncertainty with fuel shortages due to strikes at the refineries but I found a refill just before it became critical.
Lunch break on the beach near the lower end of the Canyon of the Verdon but not at the water’s edge as the water level in the lake is still at least 15 metres lower than normal.
Great pleasure running again these roads in the Alpes-de-Haut-Provence which suit the CBR600RR so well.
