7 Bisses Revisited!!!

papy, labrico, nameless and missile
50km
Down: 2,244
Up: 1,175

It all started poorly
....I missed the opp to buy a caprice des dieux for the picnic...and lost time having to stop twice and still didint get my caprice des dieux...
...er three times as I had to buy some maps as GPS back up...
...labrico wasnt quite ready when I picked him up at his GF's place....GF number xx, I let you figure it out..
...but it was apparently not the one with the 'grosse balles' that he had "diddled" the night before!!
...meanwhile....nameless is busy also being (very) late.....(B.A.U.)
...meanwhile (rewind +-1 hour) Old Jo is getting ready and waiting for lisa to drop him off at the rendez-vous
...much later....missile and labrico arrive, nameless still not there....but arrives shortly after...
...papy has the time to have a sammich made for him...was it that good ??
and about 45minutes after the appointed hour we set-off...(we had to wait for labricos dumpathon to be over)

but then it got really REALLY good
4 hours of Crans/Montana/Chermignon/Lens/Sion bisses, ups, fast downs in an increasingly sauna like atmosphere. Awesome!! And we took the bus back to Crans which arrived at EXACTLY 18:06 as the schedule suggested. I love Switzerland !!

Ride Report One - Invite in Beautiful Valais - July 20-21, 2013

Day One - Nameless The Revival:
To all, Nameless was there in fine shape and spirit, bike ready and serviced.
We biked Crans-Montana single tracks down and rode up the fire roads, had fun single tracking and  trained well going up,  the Nameless heading indeed  ! Day came to an end too quickly and the Paella was waiting for Nameless...so he was gone as quickly as he arrived !
No OTB, no blood, no chain breakage, no flat, a fine ride on a sunny day - playing hide and seek with storm clouds. Bravo Nameless - I truly enjoyed.
