One thing I am going to miss

Stonking ride today in the Vosges. Slightly overdid the "don't eat much breakfast and then ride for five hours without eating anything other than dark chocolate", but it was fantastic all the same. Deep snow over 1100m meant that I had to walk for a few km, so it was fortunate that the weather was sunny and warm. Some great downhills, but not altogether convinced by a full suspension bike with a grabbing front brake, diving forks and and a semi-slick rear tyre that liked to lock up.
