    Ready, Set........GO!!! First Ride 2013 - April 2'nd!!!

    The time it has come, to kick off your skis,
    to put them away and relieve your knees,
    of those big mogul fields that still like to tease,
    you to think you still can after so many years!

    For those that don't ski, except through the telly,
    get off your ass, get rid of that belly
    and yes, your legs will soon feel like jelly
    "screw you the missile" I know that you tell me

    But just get your "big" wheels down off the shelf,
    and if you don't have them, just tell your self
    or your wife or your other; you know how to sell,
    that your gear is quite old, a new one 'd be swell !!

    So, anyway, where am I going with this ?
    Its time to get going, there's not one day to miss!
    And certainly not, the first one. Would you 'diss??
    Lets catch up and ride with our friends. Ah... what bliss!

    Time: 18:30
    Where: Stand de Tir de St. George
    What: Bords du Rhone
    Dinner: CHARBONNADE!!!
    2'nd April Bithday Boy: Scrana!!


    And p.s......

    Hi Jo's.... If anyone is available on Sunday evening, we'll be at the Demi Lune from about 6pm enjoying a beer, wine and probably a burger later on. Please feel free to join us for some celebrations, a few socials and probably a story or two. Will certainly be good to see you all in winter gear.
