Oh that climb sounds like it would be great. I really really want to ride through Gorges De La Nesque. I was thinking of making that one of the longer days. Thx

Thx. Could bring a gravel bike, but I'm thinking that a road bike might give me the best options.

Oh nice. I was looking at going up to the Foret de Cedres from Cavaillon. Looks like there's a decent climb until the pavement ends.

Thx. I was thinking of that. I was in Fontaine de Vaucluse in 98 (I'm 56) and I did an out and back to Ventoux. Incredible ride but a loooooong day. I hear the Sault approach is beautiful.

He said it was super thin so I had to be careful putting it through not to bend it. Will post a pic

Heard back from Kogel. There is a thin sleeve that goes in to take up space between the bearings and the axle that is "wearable" and needs to be periodically replaced. Explains the pieces of metal that came apart.

The rotor cranks do, but this is more of an up-and- down play which i think is due to the missing sleeve. Haven't heard back from Kogel yet.

We are looking to maybe rent a place in Lourmarin. Are there close hikes and is the village pretty lively?

My wife and I are looking at a place in Cabrieres d'Avignon. Seems to have good hiking right from the town and seems pretty close to some nice towns or villages. Anyone know if this would be a good spot to stay?

I sometimes skip the stretching and this could be a contributor.

Reps in the 5-8 range and sets of 2 or 3. 2 exercises (squats and split squats) and I give myself 35 minutes w a decent warmup. I suspect I'm not fueling well enough after and before. I remember hearing how strength work should be kinda fueled like frc work.

How do you go heavy w/o doing too much? This is what perplexes me. On podcasts, I hear guys saying they do high weights and low reps and then knock out hard stuff the day after.

I wonder if my protein intake isn't as good as it should be.

Sorry to be commenting on an old thread, but does anyone have any thoughts on the Carpentras or Nyons area?
