Le Crozet (Nascar Gets His Name)

Joes and Riders,

Wouaw, last night ride gave us some opportunities to celebrate....

A) 2 newbees show up to climb the Col du Crozet.
Oscar, (actual Jozette boyfriend) who gave some worries to the Missile
going down on the tricky Crozet Black track as he followed Missile so close
(and you know Missile downhill skills) that Oscar ask Missiles to put a
stop light linked to his brakes to avoid the collision. We have a crazy new
guy here. Too bad his riding a Cannodale...no body's perfect.
Peter, who didn't choose the right ride for his first attempt with the
team. Peter, don't give up, keep practicing, we all had to start this sport
one day. Stay posted and look for our less climby ride.

B) New member in the tornshort restricted club.
Jo Husky who didn't notice that the front brake could have some use, makes
3 over the bar on the tricky down hill. (Some did the tricky one some went
back by the girl's track).
He should had pass a bad night with all his blood bleeding all over his
body. He didn't torn his short, but his body shape can make him a member of
the tornshort team.

C) Armelle got her nick name.... She is now Jozozette (not to confound with
Jozette) Zozet being the nick name for the nice and friendly people from
the canton of Fribourg. Jozozette will need to be equipped with her first
aid kit. let's organize this for one of our next social event (Missile your
in charge of getting the kit)

D) Jozette comeback....hes she brought a great newbees as mentioned above.
See, she need a Spanish guy to make her back on a moutainbike and also wear
clips pedals. (Jozette, next time you need to come down by the right track.
Same for Jozozette)

Among the above stories, it has to be mentioned also that due to his
workload, Missile had the chance to leave his workplace at 15h00 and the
luxury to climb and go down one lap more than the poor guys working at
Caterpillar. However during his second climb, he try to pass twice
Troisdecis who push Missile to blow a fuse at 2 km of the top. Simon, your
Novartis drugs are not yet optimized and you need to review the
prescription if you want to pass me at your second climb...(y a quand même
des malades non !)

We have to notice also the late arrival of Mike the Bike and Jason who make
it to the top before going down by the girl's track....

Last but not least, the dinner with plenty enough meal (buffet, boulette du
patron, boulette du patron, and one more boulette du patron for Jo
Beancounter, couscous royal, pizza for other, lot of wine les cafés, les
pousse cafés offert) and many scoooooooocials.

One last rider not mentioned above: Jo Ponyexpress the Jura expert. Pony we
are all set for Sunday. Even Husky will have his bike fixed by then.


Excellent resumé.

Jozozette ...consider it done...
Veyrier, I'll be there.....

There was once a Spaniard called Oscar
Who goes down quite fast - is this Nascar ?
With The Missile up front
Oscar almost did shunt
But not yet is that Missile defunct !

......let us not forget that "Nascar" rides a hardtail ! Gadzooks !!!
Ciao

The Jura The Hard Way

This week it was a good one, but not the same for all
Cos I was lonesome on my own, having no names to call.

But probably fine, like good wine, that I did climb solo,
cos' the way was new, and very steep, I did not lauch 'ho ho'!

the down, was down. Was VERY down, and rather much that way
I have to say you'd probably say "not for me"...no way.

All in all: a fearsome ride that made my muscles quiver
at least no crozet broken bones, THAT really make me shiver

so crozet beckons once again, has been almost a year
so I'll be there, riding "God", and then to end a beer !
