Finally back on the saddle after spending the best part of three months inside... A friend and I went into the Vexin Regional Park (made famous by impressionists painters, Van Gogh's very last days in Auvers sur Oise etc...) and followed the tracks of a gravel race called Gravelxinoise. There are a couple of versions, one with 70km and 1000m of positive climb and another with 100km/1600m... we did the shorter one which was already quite hard ! Really love the Vexin though, barely a hour away from Paris by subburban train and you're surrounded by nature.
