Monter et descendre les rues entre Zola et Chantenay avec Mellinet dans le soleil levant, puis La Pelousière et la Sinière pour vérifier le niveau d'eau... ça mouille par endroit 😁 Du soleil et beaucoup d'oiseaux enthousiastes ce matin avec des chants très variés et les premières petites fleurs sur les chemins, annonciateurs du printemps qui approche !

A ride with decent weather (little wind and perfect temperature this morning, above freezing!) along vineyard paths and a few rather muddy trails in places; with a few adjustments if there was too much mud or "private" signs, my planned 85 km jaunt ended up being 72 km. With flying saucers, astronauts

First ride back, beautiful weather 🌞 but legs like jelly 🤣
Not many branches or trees "across" the paths taken this morning 👍 after Goretti, and this time crossing perpendicular to the Carquefou - St-Mars du désert cycle path and its barriers 😉!

A wonderful opportunity to see Nantes under the snow, with a blanket of a few centimeters transforming the city, and its people!

Mud, pebbles, and vine cuttings made for a run with "the morning's positive energy," but the negative feeling lasted for 4 hours 🤭. Some muddy paths and less-than-sorry farm tracks made this route much more enjoyable in good weather 😉 Post-"marathon-capon" chill mode and limited traction on the muddy

Crossing to the right bank for a bit of elevation gain, and rediscovering old paths, with leaves and mud 😁; not many people encountered, but a lovely encounter with a pair of does and two fawns (the two does can be found in the photos 😁, taken with an old smartphone from about 60m away...). A few short

Route towards and through the heart of the great classified growths of the Médoc in 1855 😊 Obviously not all of them, but names along the route that resonate with any lover of anthocyanins and longevity 😄: Boyd Cantenac, Lascombes, Giscours, Issan, Siran, Prieuré Lichine... and of course Margaux (the

Playing cat and mouse with the rain front this morning... end of a "short" outing in wet cat mode 🤣, under the sun... a better option would probably have been to head south of the Loire rather than flirting with the anthracite clouds arriving from the NW! Not many trails this morning, and the rain finally
