Tuesday, June 15 - Ride Report

Riders: BoumBoum, Papy, 3DC, Christophe the Newbee
Ride details:
- started from Douane de Veyrier (BB, 3DC, Christophe)
- Followed the Arve river banks to the Casino (by the Migros) where we met with Papy who was waiting next to the wrong bench (meeting point), some minutes lost.
- Kept on the Leman-Chamonix trail till about 5 kms from Bonneville
- Returned with a detour via a BoumBoum special single track
- Lenght - difference in height (total positive) - duration: 50 kms - +508m - 2h53
Host: Christophe, including dinner prepared by Christelle (JMi ... Christelle, not Estelle), and Thomas

Highlights:
- Saleve is not the only wonderful play ground when starting from Veyrier
- No rain, but enough mud to make 3DC and Papy's shiny bikes look like real MTB's and not roadies
- A lot of excuses for not joining, let's say they were valid for most. Guys, you missed a really nice ride
- Met with 3 wild bores who where peacefully cruising in a field, may be 15 meters from the trail. Although the grass was a bit high, we could see them for about half a minute
- Re-visited the geography of Haute-Savoie: Where exactly is the Vuache, the Mole, or the Voirons??? And renamed la Menoge by .... "la M'noge" (Papy)
- Two pictures taken: one to be posted (thanks 3DC). The other one may not pass the censure. Still, we missed our official photographer.



Suggested points:
+1 for the riders (Boumboum, Papy, 3DC, Christophe)
+0.5 for the injured ones still joining for dinner (Zulu, Labrico)
+1 for Christophe for hosting
+0.5 for BoumBoum for the ride lead, and remembering the location of this really cool single track on the way back
+0.5 for 3DC for photo modeling
+0.5 for Christophe for the home made Limoncello (well appreciated by all!)
We all behave, no negative point today

Thanks to all, Christophe
