Points suggestions from Nameless

Ok Jo's here goes my recollection of pluses and minuses:

-1 to Nameless and Labrico for being late on day of departure from the great land of Choulex
-1 to Husky for depriving us of the pleasure of his company. I personally missed the soundtrack on the descents...
+1 to Papy for getting us the GPS tracks, much to Julien's (or should I say "Jo Mapless" ?) dismay
+1 to Dopey for the new bike, unless these points have already been accounted for
+1 to Papy for managing to draw us all into this great adventure
+1 to Missile for fixing Nascar's flat with the tubeless repair kit...I wonder who gave him that idea?
+1 to Labrico and Nascar for trail improvements and suggestions on the map and en route
+1 to Balls for coming to the ride in spite of his recent rib-busting and leg-bruising
-1 to Missile for the crank bolts coming loose
+1 to Missile for wearing the used chain links necklace all the way through the ride
+1 to Limoncello for bike portage skills and speed on the way up to Pierre Avoi
-0.5 to Limoncello for not avoiding dipping his foot into muddy cowdung...pictures of shoewashing to available upon request
+1 to 3Decis and Labrico for working out their differences over the best Abricotine in the Valais...btw +1 to Missile for buying the drink for his riding buddies
+1 to Nascar and Missile's climbing skills...did anyone actually see them on the climbs before they disappeared ?
+1 to Mapless descending skills on a hardtail
+ 850 points for Caroline and Camille, just for being there. We all suddenly forgot the climb and bike portage to Mont Rouge...and even who we were and why we were there in the first place
+1 to Dopey for physically getting into the log where the freezing water played the part of the after-ride shower. It is believed his testicles have still not yet recovered their full size, more news from Slovenia sometime soon...
-1 to Avid for all the problems caused to those who use Avid brakes
+1 to 3dc for his role in the movie "Common Wallet", wine selection was flawless
+1 to 3dc for taking a hard one in the ribs and taking it like a man
+0.5 to Missile, Papy, 3dc, Nascar and Balls for setting the world record for ice-cream finishing time...it was over even before I could get the camera out of the pouch
+1 to Labrico for the picture with the charming blonde on top of the Col de Torrent, where others failed to do so
+1 to Labrico for eating an entire Croute...it is still uncertain what came before: the shits or the croute
-1 to Missile for going bushwacking in Zinal on his own...safety first, dude!
+1 to Nascar for the variation that took us to outer space...the sentier des planètes, that is
+1 to Missile for riding the funiculaire with no shirt, despite the noticeable biking tan and chain link necklace. This goes to show not all brits are the same
+1 to Nascar and Papy for postal bus reservation and negotiation skills. +0.5 to Dopey who provided the phone number
+1 to Labrico for the self-control despite the presence and view to this year's award-winning knockers on the bus and funiculaire
+1 to Papy for attacking the descent after the climb to Forcletta, with no time to breathe nor drink
+1 to Missile for crawling on all fours (yes, I do have the picture) at the bisse de l'enfer and then getting on his bike at full speed just 10 seconds later
+1 to Nascar for riding 3 days with a cold...even though I endured the snoring this caused
+1 to Dopey for suggesting the ride in Zermatt
+1 to Nascar for organizing a fondue ride to appease the need for melted cheese
+1 to Labrico for the toilet paper which allowed 3dc to clean up the milk mess on the train to Zermatt, but more so for offering ass-wiping material as well!
+1 to Labrico in general for following the example of the cows and spreading his s*%t all over the Swiss mountain to help the grass grow

...that's all for me...

See you all on tuesday!
