This past week we went on a family vacation in Auvergne west of Clermont-Ferrand in dormant volcano country. No Internet, plenty of cool weather and rain, lots of flies and other bugs.

Too bad I did not have my bicycle. Once you climb above Clermont-Ferrand into volcano territory there are lots of lightly travelled roads with fairly gentle hills leading up to low mountain passes. Seems like a good place to work on climbing without blowing a gasket like you can here near the Alps.
