Happy to be part of an amazing project. Well done to the team at Café du Cycliste for putting together a fantastic book.
''Eze - Madonne is a classic. Ask any local where to ride and Col d'Eze and Madonne will always come up. It's an all year round route.The Col de Madonne was made famous by Armstrong who, back when he was racing, used to test his legs every winter on its slopes.''
''When the sun shines, it adds flavour, like a twist to your favorite drink or a spice in a familiar meal. With the sea on one side and the sun all the way, its a classice for a reason
''This is either up or down, there's no in between. Two climbs, two descents. two plus two which equals more. More of everything about life on a bike and plenty enough to blow away the cobwebs of confinement.
''Clouds gathering like bees around honey, the wind rising as if woken from the deepest of sleeps.
''Take a chane but take a jacket just in case.'' - In this case/photo a Peacock Blue Petra. Cafe du Cycliste.
