'Every breath you take, every step you make, I'll be watching you'. Maybe it was written for me, in particular, my holiday, (the one I'm currently on!), as it seems there is no way I can stop the cogs turning. I'm on holiday in France in a small village called Peyrat Le Chateau in the departement of Haute Vienne which itself is part of the Limousin. It was supposed to be a complete break from the office after a hectic summer, and, unsurprisingly perhaps, I wasn't allowed to take a bike.
Getting away from bikes completely though, in an area seemingly designed for both road and mountain bikes, is a bit of a tall order. Prime example is this photo; I can't help but stop to find out more about the bike, the owner etc. Not allowed, surely that's work? Whatever, it was just nice to see a classic 9.8 obviously just back from a ride in the wooded hills around Peyrat.
Next time I bring my bike!
