Accordeon Ride report - 12 Oct 2010

Riders (8 + 1): 3DC, BoumBoum, Dopey, Husky, Iron Ass, Labrico, Limoncello, Mathis (spelling?), Papy

Ride details:
- Started from Douane de Veyrier, went south/west towards Archamps under BoumBoum leadership, then took left up into the Salève (Beaumont is the name of a village which comes to mind). Started the downhill to Labrico's place where we stopped to pick up young and energetic Mathis. From there, flying Mathis (7 years old) took the lead mostly in single tracks down to Veyrier.
- Lenght, duration, difference in height: BoumBoum, what is your GPS saying?

Highlights:
- 8 riders, starting at 6:02 pm !!!!
- beautiful fall colours, sunset from orange to pink in the wineyards, beautiful!
- pretty relax ride, slow pace, extended pack with front runners waiting for the straggler(s). Thus the name Accordeon ride
- Comment of the day: Dopey "why shower, I didn't sweat"
- Grumpy 3DC, not his best day from an energetic perspective, and expressing his bad mood by slowing the pace even more
- Impressive Mathis. At 7, this boy knows how to ride. In only a few years, his dad will no doubt be left behind.
- Outstanding dinner cooked by Christèle: Crozets / diots, stewed apple (home made, apples from the garden), and the expected home made limoncello. Steak + eggs for 3DC
- Respect for 3DC: sticked to his diet while the other hungry riders were enjoying their dinners. Great discipline

Points:
+ 1 point for all riders
+ 1 point for Limoncello for hosting
+1 point for BoumBoum for guiding us in beautiful trails
+ 1 point (incentive) for Labrico for being on time
- 0.5 point for 3DC for showing such a bad mood and denying the fact
+ 0.5 point for 3DC for making it to the ride + dinner while being on diet
Special Bonus point for Mathis

Comments, suggestions for points I missed: shout!

  1. sounds like matthis needs points.

    sounds like 3dc may be "on the rag" due to his diet....

  2. That's what he meant: 1 point for Mathis as a participant (he's listed as a rider on the first line), and 1 bonus point for his first participation (is he the youngest newbee ever?) + leading the downhill
