Me too. But I'm doing Haute Route Pyrennees in early September and a week's training in southern Spain with @Cycliste in late October, so I think another week off in early October would be taking the piss with work. And I definitely wouldn't be able to do it in a long weekend.

Train to Champery via Aigle is lovely
Second this. Mainline train to Aigle, little train to Champery up past Monthey and Val d'Illiaz, cablecar up to Champery. Much nicer than a bus. Or a taxi for that matter.

Especially when the bike hanging spaces are always full of luggage anyway.

Helicopter. Should cost about 2k euros each way.

They do look pretty awful on that example but that can be fixed with some stub axle adaptors and some Borranis. Much harder to disguise/replace the windscreen.

The thing that always gives them away is the bonded windscreen. 60s Ferraris didn't have bonded windscreens.

Well spotted! There were a few scrobbly bits yesterday, but overall it wasn't bad, surprisingly so given that there's not that much snow at the moment.

What the actual fuck do idiots like that think?
They think 'it's just a bike it doesn't count'. I'm surprised the Mini pulled in. Round here they'd just expect you to make space for them and the artic they're overtaking, making it briefly three abreast on a single carriageway.
I did that on a poorly-adjusted Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub, and ended up landing face first on the very pointy railings outside the University Library in Cambridge. I still bear the scars.
