Other hobbies that are not ship model building

Cycled this afternoon between my Bluenose and Balder drawings over the Col du Galibier (2646):

For the insiders: It's with my bike on a Tacx Neo2 with magnet friction. So it's reacting on the climbing gradients and that is why you have to switch gears all the time. The climb starts 4 km outside Valloire and is 19,9km. Did it in 2:01:17 with an average of 165watt overal. Not bad for a 66 year model builder. ;)
I cycled the Galibier 1986 in real:

The youngster on the left. :) The last 3km between snow wall of 2,5 meter. They had made and opened the passage for the first time that spring a day earlier.
Then also in 2 hours. Not much decline in 37 years. :D (In terms of performance, not in terms of appearance)ROTF
Regards, Peter

Bonjour,
J'ai deux autres passions le vol en paramoteur (parapente motorisé)
et la photo aérienne ! Ci joint un vol proche du Vercors dimanche dernier !
Bien à Vous, Dom
A nice picture, Dom.
A deja-vu to the flights I have done with the (basic) parapente for several years in the French Alps and other countries.
Regards, Peter

The weather outside was rather wet, not very inviting. Good to have a home trainer, enabling you to exercise.
The degrading of your performance is well within limits. Thumbsup
