[Leica] IMG: today's bicycle ride

[Douglas Barry]

Nathan, I watched your compatriot Jakob Fuglsang pick both Richie 
Porte's and Chris Froome's pockets in the Dauphiné today, and going on 
your Garmin figures, you'll be giving him a run for his money. Those 
Garmins are great, and it's a pity they weren't around in the 80s when I 
was in my triathlon pomp. On the images, the landscape the house after 
Relleu is on, is certainly impressive.

BTW tomorrow is the 200th anniversary of the first bicycle ride which 
took place in Germany. Inventive chaps these Germans, as it took place 
in Mannheim which is about a 120k bicycle ride from Solms which some of 
you may have heard of. I did a short bike ride today, but your 85k is 
about 85 times longer than my effort.

And as I cycled, I realised how fortunate I am to be living in a place where within a short ride like this, I get beautiful mountain landscapes, beautiful beaches, and some delightful small towns, too. I took these 10 pictures during today’s ride and decided to show them to you as a small gallery:
