Ride Report - Les Passerelles du lac de Joux - July 23, 2013

Not easy to get there as Paleo festival was hampering accesses...
Rode along the lake on its famous wooden passerelles (not quite BC but fun) the LaBrico in tow and usual "Grand Prix Miko" spirit. 3DC was there, closing the ride, after 2 weeks sitting on a KTM alternatively his HD....BJL played Indiana Jones on a challenging cliff trail. Now we know how to carry our bikes on a rocky steep climb.. Surprise of the day - a wild unafraid chamois herd we met. A swinging single trail brought us back to the lake shore and to a final jump & swim - how sweet.
Full Moon was with us all the way back home - late...
