La Piste Forestière, Sat 23rd

OK, so it wasn't really my ride - Labrico and Boum Boum were the joint chefs d'equipes and I the enthusiastic tag-along. But since time is passing and precious points may evaporate, this can be my  contribution. It was a gorgeous sunny ride through woods and farmland before we began to climb. We stopped to think of our Nameless friend at the similarly titled 'Chemin sans Nom', which ironically, had a signpost declaring its namelessness. The French forest service did a great job of chewing up the trails - we cursed them and felt better. Thanks for Labrico for getting the ride happening, and to Boum Boum for leading me back along by the Arve to a city filled with music (Fete de la Musique) - and to both for navigating. Ref can allocate pts as required.
No mechanicals, no dramas, no OTB - no worries! And a good warm-up for Vallee du Joux triathlon which was the next day ;)
Total distance: 31km, not including X-city commute
Total climb: 931m
Total fun: 100%
