A fantastic trip back to the Ardeche at the Southern end of the Rhone-Alps. Met Jamie on the last day - who showed us some great local trails and made a fantastic lunch ๐ I think this is my favourite place in the world to ride. Unspoilt, hard, committing, unrelenting and extremely French. In a good way.
Anyway on with the pics.
