Nameless.....you name it - Ride report!

Tuesday night 6 riders of which 3 set out to discover the Lausanne / Belmont woods. An epic ride it was!!

Here is input, comments, points and other stuff:
- Riders: Limoncello, Labrico, Dopey, Nameless (host), Beau Joe Lais and Renaud (is that spelled correct?)
- Distance: 32km
- Meters climbed: 830m
- Average speed: 11,3 km/h
- Time being out in the woods: 3h30....return 23h00!
- Encounters: One Bambi, one dog, one lonely nightly fisherman(?), lots of mud, one tree specially planned years ago for Renaud (tree hugger!) and 400 slippery wooden bridges.
- No mechanicals....not even for N...less!
- I think we turned Nameless his bathrooms in to a mud pool....Sorry! The pressure washer was excellent though and a good clean for Beau Joe lais.
- Good food and fruit juice. Renaud liked his red wine so much he wanted to share all with me....including my jeans, underwear and shirt! Up yours :-)
- According to connaisseurs it was Beau Joe Lais last shower before his departure to Chile. He couldn't understand why he wasn't allowed on the couch with his muddy bike shorts. Luckily Namless shorted him out with clean short so he could join us sitting.....Dirt? It must be a mind Game....!
Points recommendation:
- Limoncello + 2 point for making all the way from Cat as only Cat and to be well on time!
- Labrico: all his ride points to Nameless for being late once again!
- Dopey - 1 for arguing with the host
- Renaud +0.5 for his good effort in tree hugging!

Apartment in Lausanne

Hey Jo's - I think I've mentioned this to most of you, but thought I'd put this on the blog as well...
I'm looking for an apartment at the moment, available immediately if possible. I'm looking at either Lausanne or somewhere around the "Jurasiens", meaning Nyon/Cheserex/La Rippe, etc.
If you know of someone or have any leads I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.
Also, if you happen to see anything on the bulletin board at the cafeteria of your workplace that could work as well!
Thanks in advance & look forward to seeing you on the slopes as soon as the rain turns back into snow!
