Once the conflicting ride invites issue was solved and LaBrico found his way to Choulex football field through some unkown itinerary...we all took off in the late afternoon sun, Salève side, for some spinning on Papy's favorite dusty race tracks. Some called it a warm up, some a training ride, some a boring ride (meaning no f......g climbing..) some a beautiful ride, in welcoming forrest, gorgeous sceneries of maturing fields and amazing views over the Mont-Blanc. (soon Swiss territory as soon as our near bankruptcy friendly neighbour will sell..joking..)
Tartarin de Tarascon (Limoncello) could not believe his eyes seeing a rabbit and a faisan...no hunting in Switzerland - in France even hérissons (hedge hogs) are being hunted.
No flat, no mechanical, no otb, no blood (were faster than the mosquitos) Two chain drops !
