DH Sunday 17th - in Verbier

see u there...
contact missile or weasel!

Ride report - Crozet

Riders: Camille, Kim, 3dc, Zorbas, Weasel (host)

Kms: 17.4

Meters: +/- 671

No blod, no crash, no mechanicals

About the ride: nice climbing, nice apero at the Yeti's place, nice view, nice downhill... And I have the pleasure to announce a new team member Camille! 

+.5 for 3dc for the little apero we had with Tito and Rene place before going down

+.5 for weasel for riding the DH track although it was pretty wet (I don't want to give negative points because it is also a quality knowing your limits and avoiding crash...) The ref will decide!

+ Points for hosting, cooking, tour organization

+ .5 for Zorba, your first aid assistance and great interpretation skills for helping our guest who had to go to hospital by ambulance was very appreciated. She is stable now, nothing to worry about.

anything I forgot?

well well well.....looky what we have here....

“normally”, in a world where “pigs can’t fly”, this is not possible!!

…the total stack height of a large RDO with a Cane Creek 110 headset is 142mm…

…and the max allowable stack height of lefty Supermax is 138mm….

…but where there is a will and a lathe…

… there IS a way!!!

Highlights: 
- Staying overnight in Husky's camper (les vieux garçons ... see pic). Super cool, merci Michel 
- The whole event was fabulous, the MTB race fantastic, great organization, rain stopped on Saturday morning and gave us a break for the whole week-end, perfect! 
- Husky's OTB during the track "reconnaissance" on Saturday evening .. ça fait mal! 
- Cat MTB team spirit ... that was cool guys 
- Nicolas' flat at 50 meters from the finish line ... ending up running / racing while pushing the bike, and diving to the finish line.

Points: 
- Participation and flying the Cat colours: Zorba, Nicolas = 1 point, Husky, Limoncello = 2 points (Saturday and Sunday)

Next Corporte Games in Annecy July 4/5 2015. This will be the third and last event in Annecy, they expect 4000 participants. Check the web site, get your company engaged, that is a really cool event.
