![]() It was only me on my jack jones, so no one had any problems getting past me. That's the best thing about French roads, plenty of space, not like the UK road. Its not the cyclists you need to worry about, but the supercar drivers who regularly drive these routes, and you'll find them clipping the apex on your side of the road. Stelvio's full of them, as are roads up to the L'iseran summit, basically any road with lots of switchbacks, they're magnets for the super car owners.

I got hit in the chest by a duck today. I was only going about 30 but it did hurt a bit!
It was waddling across the road as I came round a corner quite quick. I slowed down trying to decide which way I should go. It looked like it was going to just keep walking, right up until the last second when it flew up and in between my arms. Stupid thing managed to fly away from me ok though, probably wondering what just happened |

I'm at a complete loss as to wear to go for this Sundays ride out. About 300 - 350 miles are OK if I'm on my own or can get Mrs LOM out of bed at a sensible hour.
