Today I had to ride my frustrations away, it happens......or shall I say sh..t happens!
I looked outside and realized it was another nice and sunny day. One of those beautiful end of summer days. My legs were still a bit tired from the last 4 days riding but I thought what the heck.....enjoy it while you can!
I took the 14h59 train from L'Asse....greeted the train Chef and found myself throwing a leg over the bike at the Les Pralies train stop at 15h39.
Target, the top of La Dole......although I had been there 6 times already this season there was one descend at the front that I did not try......and lets no forget the superb view! While pedaling up I got cheered on by some happy hiking granny's......and some of the cows recognized me from the ride on Monday. Boooooo.....!!
Just in little less than an hour I found myself at the top of my garden.....La Dole (1.677m). At 16h35 I looked at my phone......no missed calls. Damn.....still no job! Prepared myself for the descent, waved at the picnicking crowd and put the hammer down......
A couple of minutes after 17h00 I found myself free-wheeling into my parking lot......I descended +1.100m in less than 30 minutes and made the run from the top of La Dole non-stop and without putting a foot down on the ground......I had two steaming blue brake rotors, a smile from ear to ear and felt a little less frustrated.......!!! I was a happy camper.....
Thank you my Niner RIP9 , thank you Jura......Another day in paradise!!!
I kissed my bike goodnight and went for a hot shower..........
