At the risk of making this place look like some kind of road riding blog, I'll try to consolidate this into two posts. But I did take the redstone pride to Europe for 3 weeks, and, despite having ridden only road, had a great time.Picture 1: my brother riding in the Alpilles - the more coastal beginnings of the same geological formations that eventually run north to make the Alps. These ones are only about 800 feet tall, making for a fun day where you can ride 4 or 5 of them and brag about the "mountain passes" you rode later at the bar. They are, at least, dramatic.
Picture 2: Climbing up Mount Ventoux (The Dauphine just passed through there) I saw this guy railing down on some kind of downhill road carving contraption. Two wheels, very fast, full armor apparently is needed. He seemed to be enjoying himself.

Crap, that looks fun. The riding too. But that contraption - very cool.
