We blew pistons on that hot summer biking night. Fast was the name of the game. Up, down, around, across and through the Jussy Woods and - grand finale - the Sentier des Douaniers.
The mosquitos were beaten flat...none in sight ! Tracks were dusty and dry, the thorns gripping and bitting only on the Ref. (tender skin that man..)
Many sweet, shapy and bouncy encounters, all ages, enlightened the ride..but ONE special curvy jogging orange short and tanned to perfection skin definitely retained attention !!
Congrats to Missile who made the trip to the other side of the Wall (read Rhône).
His ride was only hampered by a few events.. what's wrong with him ; - )) here goes the list:
a) The Perfecto Dump b) The Biting Thorn c) The Aborted OTB d) The Too Small Big Ring for a sprint e) The Creaking Handle Bar and finally f) The Out of Air Rear Tire or Lungs...however keeping up.
As dusk was slowly creeping in, we rushed to the Café des Amis, where the charming and smiling waitress greated us with three large cold and well deserved beers.
Treated like Kings, we ate, drank and talked, making noise in the peaceful Choulex's night. Some said that Missile's laugh was overheard miles away..
A generous discussion took place about the future and/or conversion of the name of the Caterpillar MTBiking Team into - Cats & Dogs - as a suggestion, more on subject later.
Participants: The Missile, Limoncello, Old Jo.
Stats: Distance 41 km, Time 2 hours, Elevation 222m, Max Speed/Average Speed....
Pointage:
+ 1 for all
+ 1 Old Jo - track leader/organizer
+ 0.5 Missile for Aborted OTB
+ 0.5 Missile for riding in and out of Choulex.
+ 0.5 Limoncello for Shamelessly wind drafting behind Old Jo...to finally overtake on the last stretch of the sprint...booo ! (am I not generous..)
Ride On !
