Happy days!

So, didn't get around to writing a mid-week post, but it's been a pretty sweet week! I've managed to squeeze in four trips with my bike since my last post and I'm pretty happy about that. But before I go on showing more scenic photos, here's a little glimpse of my everyday life. Or not everyday, this  is a day I started late.

Quiet morning

By now it's getting pretty dark in the mornings. It kind of looks like fall outside, the leaves are changing colour and so on, but it doesn't really feel like fall yet. First of all, it's too hot! It can be a bit crisp in the mornings, but nothing worse than an average summer day back home. Second, not enough rain! I'm not saying I miss it, just that this doesn't feel like fall… But I'm enjoying it!

Finished early on Friday,
decided  biking would be a good idea

Saturday started of with a bit of yoga, all this biking does make your muscles kind of tight. Followed up  by a trip to "Le Marché". Must be one of my favourite things in France, so much better than the supermarket.

Market in Valence

Getting fresh baguettes, or as in this case flutes, from the Boulanger is also pretty high on the list. Returned chez moi with, hopefully, all the fruits and vegetables I will need for the week to come, along with fresh bread, honey, cheese (not so fresh, might actually have been a bit mouldy!) and semi-dry dates (seriously good).

After market snack

Saturday afternoon  I headed for Grenoble to do some biking and meet up with some friends. Had my first flat, actually had a nail though the tire. A bit of a hassle there, luckily I did have an extra tube and pump etc. As my tires are normally tubeless I now need to do some serious googeling to figure out how to fix this. However, the tube has been working fine the whole weekend. Also had my first Raclette saturday, I don't know who came up with that, but it is great!! 

Sunday morning, early-ish start

Had a really nice ride today with Fred and Lou(?), a girl Fred met biking. He said she was pretty good, "Elle roule bien". Turns out she is a world champion in mountain bike orienteering…  Think she could go just as fast uphill as downhill if she wanted. My legs are gonna be so sore tomorrow...

Can't have a post without a pretty view

But I've had a great week! And I've managed to write a post about it as well. Yeey!

À Bientôt!
