This is posed. We were actually heading the other direction
on that road, and Sue is riding back and forth in front of the
camera trying to get me to take a decent picture. Unsuccessfully
as it turns out...

Our "studio" in Bonnieux. Top floor of a cheap but pleasant hotel. Two windows on opposite sides, so we get a cross breeze!

Bonniuex is impossibly pretty, and also fairly quiet considering.

Ho hum. Another shot of lavender with grapes in the background.

Confusion in Apt. Bike path disappears.

Sue's steed.

Cherry pit stop. I have good reasons not to take my helmet off once it has been on for a couple of hours.

This guy was selling nice cherries from his truck outside of Apt. The four of us ate a kilo in about 10 minutes.

That was an 8 kilometer climb to 696 meters. Hot, and we felt every meter.
At this point, we left the Luberon bike path in Cereste, and headed up the hill to La Bastide-des-Jourdans.

Hotel in Manosque. It was quiet in Manosque on Sunday night. They'd just finished celebrating 8 thousand years of Manosque or some such thing!
