Yesterday was super scorchio (hot). Apparently it’s some kind of record (since 1976) for the number of days where temperatures have reached 30°C in England! So maybe it wasn’t the best day to go for a massive cycle ride? But training for l’Etape du Tour continues, and it may well be super hot in the Alps during the race too, so maybe it was good conditions. Anyhow, it was a great ride…
I’ve recently found a website, relive.cc, that does an awesome job of creating 3D videos that wonderfully brings a memory to life. I hope you enjoy watching this memory of my scorchio day out on my bike too!

Blimey! A Tour de Force! Did you plan ahead – or just follow your front tyre?!
Paul, I sort of had a plan – to ride a reasonably long way! So I heard Laetitia’s voice in my head, “you haven’t been up the Trough yet have you”. So that’s where I headed! After that I just thought to make a big loop back to Kendal… 🙂
