As I have no more time before the ski season, the weather wasn't so good but we decide to have a last off road journey in Cevennes
After a a rocky part in the beginning we have to do some adjustments

Higher, no more leaves on the chestnut trees, shame! (they were all on the tracks :D )
(https://i91.servimg.com/u/f91/17/48/93/82/dscn7116.jpg)
A lot of cuts of woods in this region
(https://i91.servimg.com/u/f91/17/48/93/82/dscn7118.jpg)
Then we tried an incertain part, (maps doesn't say the same thing; with deep ruts; a lot of shots (wild boar hunters) ; we decide to go back after Jacques' fall (he decides to come with slicks tires :D )and decide to come back on spring ...

Sure Jacques can add some nice pics and panoramic ...

You've changed rear wheel ?
Yes :) - tubeless Alpina. Now after ap.10 000 km - no problems :) - one punctation/hole in the front tire on route - patched in 10 minutes with a pin without removing the tire VCIF_ThumbUp

Well, not exactly the last ride, as tomorrow I´ll visit a Honda dealer to se his new exhibition building and there will still be a couple of days riding to work next week. But soon the "Camel" will take over when it gets to cold with salty roards... ;D
Only 109 km, but in a lovely weather; sunny, no wind and dry roads.
"Munkholmkiosken", our summer meeting place... not many motorcycles here now... ;D

"Roskilde Havn" (harbour), another summer meeting place, not many motorcycles here either...

Then through the longest avenue in Denmark, almost 8 km long.

To one of the few gravelroads on Zealand that you´re alowed to ride on.

No problem on a Varadero, even though it´s on "slicks" ... just makes it a bit more exciting ;D
(https://scontent.fcph2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/46451832_10156046709152898_3305346177473445888_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent.fcph2-1.fna&oh=4d313525d47587c821dcf6bab60c0356&oe=5C744F50)
Which leads to "Tadre Mølle" (watermill).

Though the weather was fine, it was a bit to the cold side, so at home again, I fired up in the wood stove to get warm on the outside...
(https://scontent.fcph2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/46434254_10156046708952898_858763820183584768_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent.fcph2-1.fna&oh=9a1e836dd2000c0e83f0f94b9051175d&oe=5C63A9E8)
...and made me a cup of "Turbo-the" to get warm inside... and a Christmas Brew, just for the "hygge" (a danish word
for doing something that makes you (and maybe some of your friends), feel good ;D)

As said yesterday; today I visited a Honda dealer. Right into the shop I was "forced" to take a test ride on the Adventure Sports, so I took it out on some of the roads from yesterday. Great bike, think the biggest differences compared to the Varadero is the weight and the 21" front wheel, but I missed the feeling that "this bike was build for me" and the feeling of riding "express train".
