L'escargot, Tue 26th June

Labrico kicked off this ride with what felt like a high-speed chase along L'Arve - with Weasel, Marco and me in hot (no kidding, it was sunny and 28 degrees) pursuit. Despite my efforts to lead Weasel astray with a wrong turn, we soon were all winding our way up Le Petit Saleve, with excellent commentary from Labrico on the novel view of Geneva from this angle, and the depth of rain clouds hanging over the Jura.

Marco witnessed what was surely the most elegant OTB the group has seen this year.... Ouch. Weasel, freshly back from China, couldn't be held back on the descent, while the rest of us took a little longer to appreciate the flowy, winding, wooded trails of this area  - thanks Labrico. We really like your back yard!
FYI: The snail reference relates to the way the trail coiled around Le Petit Saleve like the design on a snail shell; it doesn't refer to cycling speed, just for you wise-guys with smart comments....
