Cheers, Tim. Very interesting buildings!! And even more interesting ROCKS. It really was "one of those days". Keep triking, Tim.

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

Thanks, will do!

[@Ordacious]

Well done finding your way through that obstacle course. The bridges are pretty. Ending the video with the lovely bird song , great. Thanks Tim,stay safe.

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

It was a hard day and difficult to film anything positive. I was glad of the wooded area at the end of the day. Peace at last.

[@tomboyd9053]

I'm glad you were able to take a dip in the pool after your long, obstacle- filled, recumbent trike ride. Keep on Triking!

[@neilsonwheels]

That looked like quite a challenging day, but rewarded with a pool at the end. 👍

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

"Challenging "... yes. Probably a tad more polite than any of the words I used off camera 😅

[@TravelingTice]

Omg that path was a joke 🤣 and those stones on a perfectly fine bicycle path??!! ridiculous

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

Blew my mind that one. I can't think of any reason to do that.

[@ChisWest]

Can you say “ Rocks “ in French ??? Glad to see you got your well deserved break in the pool 🏊

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

The pool was unexpected so was doubly delightful. 😃👍

[@ed-ventures]

yeah... how bout those French cycle paths......been there done that, thought at the time I did something wrong in Komoot, but after my last trip in the Ardennes, I now know better, its the secret of Komoot, the still undiscovered French and Belgian discovery journeys...... don't tell anyone...😁

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

There's no in-between. Some routes are tip top. Others are barely routes at all. 🤷‍♂️

A new Maginot Line to dissuade all those bloody tourists, maybe?😂 Here we call those AZ love stones (big f__king rocks!). On my ride this morning I saw many, many Mesquite and Palo Verde trees toppled over by last Sunday's violent storms. 70 and 80 mph winds blew them over, pulling their roots right out of the ground, limbs snapped off, debris from runoff across the trail creating sandy berms 6+ inches deep. What a mess, power poles snapped, 35K without power (some still). Two miles from home the path was blocked by a huge downed Eucalyptus tree (75 to 100 yr old) right along the riverbank. It will take construction equipment to remove it, sad. Our Loop System trails run adjacent to our rivers, which is why I see the damages. The storms cut a swath right through Tucson from SE to NW damaging stuff along the way. A bowling alley two miles to the north had its roof torn off (bowlers inside were not amused, at least no one injured). I've not seen a storm this bad here before.

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

I can't imagine living in an area threatened by such weather. Yes, I had a few choice words to say off camera about the rocks 😃👍

[@Tranquility-Base_on_the_move]

For a moment I thought you where in the wrong city. Or was I the only one that thought seeing the Eifeltower on that mountain? About flying the drone. How do you know there is a no fly zone? I never saw any signs of that kind. I can imagine they want to block the road for motorized vehicles, but they could at least have left a small path for pedestrians and cyclists. What could be wrong with that. I hope you enjoyed the pool after a hot and sweaty day. See you in the next one.

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

The software on the drone is constantly updated with location information regarding restrictions. So as soon as the drone connects to GPS you get an on screen message with a limited warning to be careful... or more often the drone will just refuse to take off entirely.

I've got a bone to pick today my friend. I think you're too polite to do any serious griping, so I'm going to let loose. France, the nation hosting the Tour de France, the world's most prestigious cycling event, should be embarrassed at such an awful stretch of "cycling route." The boulders strewn all over the place looked like a rock fall on a Colorado mountain highway (unfortunately a frequent occurrence here), and that unimproved section appeared to be a singletrack mountain hiking trail instead of something intended for cycling (watching the Relive at the end of the episode, it appeared that you backtracked and went around that strange section...). Also, that suspension bridge with the arch you crossed looked genuinely dangerous! Sorry if I sound like a mother hen here Tim. It's just that I do keep in mind that you're doing this tour solo, and your safety is important to me. Hey, I've been watching your channel for years now. Of course you're a grown man and all, but I do hope you appreciate my concern. We are mortal after all... 🌞😁

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

You can be a mother hen all you like Greg. I always appreciate your concerns as you know. Thanks as always 😉👍

[@colemanweidenbusch4086]

@6:48 "G'day to ya!!" ??

[@TimsTrikeTrips]

I thought it wasmore like... "out of my way" 🤷‍♂️
