12.6m long and slow with Richard

Up the hill today to see Richard for the first time since July! So long over due.

Bru (the mad dog) was out too and as ever she provided the entertainment zooming off into the fields and eventually coming back to us, she must have done double our miles at least! At one point she attempted to leap back on the the road failing to notice the wire fence and hit it in mid flight - caught her across her face, fortunately no damage appeared to have been done as she just kept going. That was about 30m ahead of us and the wire was still shaking when we went past the point she hit the fence.

She also disappeared into a vineyard above us and came out about 3m above us and really did for a moment look like she was considering the jump, but wisely thought better of it and joined the road safely ahead of us.

We were chased by a herd of cows at one point, the dog got them

The trees were stunning autumnal colours, reds, oranges, yellows. Awesome.

Just before we got back to Burtigny a car stopped in the road ahead. It was Jen and Howie Baggot, so nice to see them in the middle of nowhere, we declined their kind offer of a lift up the hill and pushed home.

Richard gave me the finish, no sprint to the house.

Super slow, but time on feet in good company and check out the hill profile captured.
