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"!!

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.
Stats:
Time: about 2.23 hours on the saddle
Distance: 25.7 km
Elevation: 876 m
Max speed: 45.7 kmh
Points:
Usual pointage for invite/trail leading and attendance to participants (Nameless + Papy)
+1 extra point to Nameless for joining to the Invite (only him..)
+0.5 to Nameless for fine shape and leading uphill.
+0.5 to Papy for skillfully mastering an infamous stump.
Day Two - The Flynnster Dawn of a Downhiller:
Downhilling was the name of the day. The Flynnster and Papy headed for a full day riding down the CM downhills tracks. Dusty, bumpy and speedy tracks, we mastered them..; - )) well survived I mean.....
Time: around 3hours on the bike - not on the saddle
Distance: 27 km
Dowhilling: 2,876 m
Max speed: 50.8 kmh
Points:
+ 1 to The Flynnster for attendance
