Ride Report June 04, 2013 - A Bigger Bang....Riding Too Fast !!

...it all started on a beaufiful sunny day...we splitted in two groups, the wannabee fast and the wise watching their heart monitors ! A very nice ride in green Jura, not muddy, a steady climb, a bit of downhill and always pleasing single tracks.. UNTIL...3DC who wanted to test his fast and furious red S'd 29er hit a bern, fell heavily, slid, scaped, bled, shouted in pain, laid out of breath panting on the ground, rescue came, put him back up and on the saddle....3DC got up and finished bravely the ride despite a painful knee, without any complaint. Proofs attached !

Ref, just to let you know that Kellydrinklilepapa and 3DC have made the Barillette last Sunday.

It was the first Barillette climb for Kelly and she did it great and she's very proud.

We were not part of the race though, but we kick the ass of some poor participants and the end.
