BB - as a driver I also think there are a lot of idiot cyclists out there!
But, my husband does a lot of cycling and he would share your sentiment. They've had a lot of situations with drivers who've given them abuse out of the window as they cowardly hide behind the glass gesturing. One bloke did get out, but backed down when confronted by 10 blokes, most over 6 foot! He says they rarely encounter issues in France though and they've done thousands of miles out there. I just wish cyclists would acknowledge drivers who have patiently driven behind them at 20 miles an hours until they can get past. At least horse riders (who have a bad name) do their best to get out of the way asap and I rarely have a horse rider not raise their hand to say thanks. With ref to skiing - I reckon cycling is a brilliant way to strengthen legs. I wished I had done it this year! |

We have something in common at last! -)
I see all the slopes are turning green now. Not missing a ski season again if I can help it. |

Haha. It was a bit pedantic wasn't it!

Without a basket the pole does tend to sink into soft/deep snow making poling difficult.
When we were in Hinterglemm last month we took an off the piste route to get back to the hotel and I'd have struggled poling (UPHILL! ) without an effective pole. |

One of my friends has just said he's snowed in in Pasa de la Casa. Very disappointing week due to heavy snowfalls and closed lifts. You pays your money.....

Were you fit? Everything gets ragged if my legs ache.
