The Rainy ride report

Participants: BoumBoum, Zorba, Limoncello (host)
Climbing: 300m ich
Distance: in the range of 13 km
Riding time: ??? say 1h30

Plan was to do Petit Salève, but the dark clouds and rain drops on that side suggested we use the cable-car and ride South. It all started pretty well along the sentier des bucherons (cleaned from fallen trees). What a nice single! Rain drops caught us as we started the descent de la Thuile, and got heavier and heavier after each switch back. Rain was then pouring as BoumBoum aka Mr Salève took us to the little chapelle just above Beaumont.
Here we found Sandra and Laurent, hikers protecting themselves from the floods of water, who eventually saved us by walking to their car, driving back to the chapelle to pick me up, and dropping me in Veyrier so I could come back to pick up BB and Zorba and the 3 bikes.
We ended up at the Buffalo grill with a pretty good Bison meat … miam!
So a very short ride, probably on par with Missile Vs Shimano fail ride.

BUT …. we did not chicken out and went on the bike, unlike some who dropped out just a couple hours before start time (see points) for some unclear reason.

Points:
1 point riders: BoumBoum, Zorba, Limoncello
1 point host: Limoncello
0.5 point Boumboum who knows everything in the Salève, including where to find the chapelle
0,5 point Zorba, drinking his pastis between starter and main course
-0,5 Papy for chickening out
Extra points for Sandra and Laurent for being so nice!
