The Vélo Journey
The road hums beneath the wheels.
The rhythm is breath, pedal, landscape, repeat.Vélo Notes is a journal of life seen from the saddle — solo rides through Burgundy vineyards, cycling with friends along the Loire, and the kind of clarity that only comes when you're moving forward under your own power.
This is where adventure meets reflection, where silence becomes a companion, and every hill has a story.
