Mont Caume

Thought I could ride up Mont Caume after running. Riding around here is odd, all uphill and downhill.

Got halfway up Mont Caume on a lumpy little road and reached the 2 km marker. Then I saw the summit shrouded in clouds and started feeling cold. It was 8:05 am. So I turned around.

Starting back down turned out to be downright scary with loose brakes and steep roadsides. Had the feeling I'd had years ago when climbing too far up a tree. Then I realized I could walk down with SPD shoes. So I got off the bike and enjoyed the view of Toulon and the Mediterranean.
