About 🅿️hilippe 🇨🇵
---------------‐-----------
I love and practice mountain biking for over 30 years for the nature side. I like discovering new paths and sharing cool places with the Komoot community. Since spring 2024, I have been practicing gravel and I love it.

After the previous ride, which required me to remove the drivetrain for thorough cleaning and lubrication, today I opted for a gentler ride, alternating between tarmac and gravel. The temperatures are currently mild (between 8 and 15°C), and we must make the most of every break in the clouds.

With the frost last night, the roads were very slippery this morning. So we're faced with a dilemma: should we leave early to take advantage of the still-frozen paths, risking slipping on the asphalt, or should we leave later, risking muddy paths but safer roads?
Yes, because thawing mud always means

With all the rain we've had these past few weeks, and given that it's potato and beet harvest season, I deliberately avoided the country lanes, which are far too muddy right now. I enjoy sliding sports, but not on a bike 😵💫... Maybe on a mountain bike, but even then, we'll see...
Anyway, it was a fairly

The temperature continues to drop, having reached 4°C this morning. Timid appearances of the sun and a light breeze finally convinced me to check the condition of the paths and country roads. I had the pleasure of discovering a new gravel section, thanks to @Julien Hauteville, between the Belle Vue farm

I set off hoping to avoid the rain on the route. Alas, after having to follow a farm vehicle that was tearing up the path with its trailer, I had to brave the downpour. Luckily, a tunnel provided shelter while I waited for the shower to end. I can tell you, the dirt tracks are in terrible condition

A gravel ride in temperatures between 9°C and 15°C to discover Namps-au-Val, a place I didn't know. Meh!...😒
While the neighboring town of Namps-au-Mont has a certain charm and its castle is worth a visit, Namps-au-Val didn't inspire any photos.
This route has, in my humble opinion, three interesting

Sunny days are becoming increasingly rare this time of year.
This morning was lovely, and a short walk in the Val de Selle was definitely in order.

What a wonderful discovery these paintings are on the retaining walls of a bridge right in the city, but also and especially above the Somme River!
Can we still call these paintings street art?
This is the seventh artwork of the Iconic Festival in Amiens. This mural was created along the riverbank by the

After a rainy and windy week following the first winter storm Benjamin, oh miracle, the sky was completely clear this morning. With the amount of water that had fallen over the previous days, I preferred to avoid the muddy paths and stick to a few gravel tracks. Many people had the idea of taking the

Today, I decided to ditch the muddy, slippery paths and enjoy what little sunshine we had 🌝. The temperature was quite mild at 9°C and there was hardly any wind. The biggest challenge of this route is the climb in the village of Saisseval (which I've always managed to avoid until now).
