26 October - Last Ride - Brazilian XXL OR 7 Bisses OR Joest's Chandolin ride

26'th is the last ride of the points season....lets go out in style:

Depending on the weather - but I plan for the best....I have three proposals:

Either

The Brazilian XXL (meet at Chalais teleferique at 8:30)
Braziliann XXL

or

7 Bisses Du Valais (Sierre train station at 8:30)
7 Bisses

or

Joests Chandolin ride (7:45 Bus from Sierre)
Chandolin - Illsee


As we 'gain' an hour on Sunday, getting up at 6 will be like getting up at 7 (the hours go back one hour) so an early start is possible: I plan the details based on interest later in the week.

I am partial to the Chandolin - Illsee -  Joest says its pretty 'good'. Depending on timing we could do that and then "funi" up to Crans and do the last part of the 7 bisses: Crans - Christ Roi -> Sion which is always "fun"!!

The Brazilian Revisited

Missile & Weasel

Oh yeah.....
Just an awesome half day out - 14.00 CHF with demi tarif took us all the way up to the top.
We (i) got off the GPS track twice - DOH - during the climb too...but it worked out
because we had even more downhill !!! We went all the way to the end of the valley...
then along some steepsided trails to col de cou...

then we blasted out way down - not even one pedestrian !! On a Sunday !!

Big grins all round

No mechanicals, no OTB's, just loads of dust and tire tracks
