- Living in France for nearly 25 years now or is it more ?
I have a French wife and two boys, I was 54 at the end of Decemeber 2011 but so far still feeling on top of the world, in fact the last couple of years have been the best in my life.
I’m not really a “bloggy” person though I seem to be adding more and more lately, mostly concerning my passion for biking (bikes with pedals), mostly mountain biking or writing about things that may be of interest to others or at least I hope it may be of interest, or about my gadgets, maybe someone will be interested in some of my posts, and if so , then so much the better.
I’ve been adding more and more pages to this blog since 2010, nearly all on about my bikes, or my bike rides (I have three for the moment and starting to build up my fourth one). This year, like last year has been a good year, nearing the end of September 2011 sees me with over 4000 km, 2010 I managed to ride 4700 kms, so with a bit of luck I might manage the 5000 kms at the end of 2011.
Since September 2010 I added a singlespeed to my collection, this is my latest craze, so now all road riding is done on this bike, and when its to wet and muddy to to ride my MTB, I use the singlespeed. Having no gears is hard work when the road goes uphill and fun when the road goes down as sometimes I feel like my legs are going to overtake the bike … I just love it. Middle of September 2011 I did a heart test, my last one two years ago gave me a result of 300 watts, I’m now at 340 watts, this I’m fairly sure is due to the singlespeed, as it’s far harder that a MTB.
My Bikes for the moment are :

- Je vis en France depuis 25 ans maintenant, voir plus …
Ma femme est française, ensemble nous avons deux grands garçons. J’ai 54ans …..
Je ne suis pas un réel blogger, mais depuis un certain temps, j’ajoute de plus en plus des billets, surtout concernant mes sorties VTT, et parfois j’aime bien noter les choses en espérant qu’ils seront utiles pour les autres, sur mes gadgets : smartphone, GPS etc.
Comme vous pouvez constater je ne suis pas français, je ne l’ai pas appris à l’école, donc certains de mes billets sont en français hic … et certain sont en anglais, selon si je trouve trop difficile à écrire en français. Les corrections sont les bienvenues, je ne les prendrais pas mal, au contraire.
