I'm at home. Planning to do a bit more of TET later this month, haven't decided which bits though.
They keep changing the routes, The bits in Aveyron which you just did and I did in june now skirts north of Rodez and east acroos to Millau before looping back again. Could be that there's more dirt on that because as you say there was a fair bit of tar on the old route. On verra !

Yep, i must do a rideout at mine sometime. Waiting on some rain ideally, bored with this dry stuff !

Hi ya Nick, just thinking there could be some nice trails over by millau, especially where the gorges are , those dutch guys we met were heading that way. Always up for a rideout, so dry though but it is what it is

Fantastic looks like you had a good run .
Even them shitty roads the verges looked like a good ride , you just need to man up and ride the verge

Phil had a bee go down his shirt

The bee is now suffering from PTSD and undergoing counselling.

I tried to keep well away from the verge !! Most had huge drops into valley below
