Indian summer weather here in deepest Rekkersland so after tiffin I got the RP out of its slumber and took it for a run round the block. It hasn't been out for over a month, but today it was both windows down and screen open all the way. Car ran really well, but I need to do the rear shocks this winter. They're squeaking like crazy. Some confit de canard will provide the tallow necessary.
There's a nice climb up from the Cèze valley between Bessèges and St Ambroix that takes me through La Valette and Rochessadoule before cresting the col de Trélis (450m) back to the Auzonnet valley. I was stuck behind a fuel tanker all the way to Le Martinet. I though he was going to be doing a local delivery but he never stopped. It was only a 7.5 tonner, but a biggie shouldn't really attempt the route. There's a 12T limit on it for that reason.
Strange having to back off going uphill because the bloke in front is going slower than an A7!
