Muddified...A muddy Tuesday night splash!

It is spring and nature needs its water...but this much. 10 happy riders showed up and went for a muddy splash in the foothill of the Jura.

The statistics:

Riders: 10x - Tanya, Alpine, Beaujolais, Dopey, Husky, Labrico, Limoncello, Nameless, Nascar and Weasel (what is his real name)
Distance: 21km
Metres Climbed: 600m
Average moving speed: 13.5 km/h
Mechanicals: 1x Weasel broke his chain. Fixed it but forgot to route it through his front derailleur.
Flats: Nameless 1x , before he left he glued the tire to the rim. Nascar robocop hands did not do get the tire removal job done...!
OTB: Tanya...its part of learning to ride :-)
Dirty faces: 10x...but with smiles!
Getting everything mud free: 2 days... :-(
Eaters: 10
Kilo's pasta eaten: 1.5 kg
Bolognaise sauce eaten: 1.5 kg
Dessert: the sticky stuff from Gruyere...so yummie! Thanks to Nameless.

Points:

All riders: the usual 1 point for participating, plus 0.5 for riding in this wet, muddy and shitty weather and still smiling!
Late points: Namless -1 for been 25 minutes late. What can we say he will never learn. 2013 season you start with -6, every time you are on time you get a point!
Asking for points: Namless -1, asking for points for three times. Assistance...? Handing a chain breaker and not supervising the job, what assistance is that?
OTB: Tanya +1 point! Well done...
Flats: Namless...minus whatever....you still have points left? O, it was you first ride this season.
Tanya: +0.25 points for telling the Frenchies how to strap on their helmets!
Comments and point suggestions welcome...!

    1. Yeh it is me! I can wait next tuesday... No negative points when you break your chain, maybe it is because I gave a great opportunity to Limoncello taking a temporary lead of the ride?

  2. Dopey, you're forgetting to add points for your excellent vinaigrette and spaghetti sauce...magnificent!
    Also, extra points to you for the mud we left in your apartment.
    Thanks for hosting & see you in Finale!

  3. Wet but great ride ane dine. Thanks Dopey and all. And thanks to Weasel for his broken chain: that allowed me (and Husky) to ride in front of the pack for once while the others were waiting. See you all week after next (travel)
