Ride report: Tues 13 June

OldJo and Balls set off on a beautiful hot summers eve for Ballaison and round trip. 

No sooner had we set off then OldJo started complaining about his tired legs, too much SUPing that day. Poor chap!!!

We pushed on (I dragged him up the hill)... and then the fun began!!! ;)))))

Sumptuous tracks on top, traversing the Ballaison hill, then down the far side, past the Balcony (see pics) and onto the Strava single track downhill section. ;))) 

Balls knows most of the stones, twists and turns on this section, and he picked up the downhill KOM. Ha!!!!!

Then into the Grand Bois, more single track stuff, bopping and weaving in amongst the trees, and out in the other side for a decent into Hermance. 

Before we ate we had time for a swim - big points for both OldJo and Balls!!! See OJ below - more prancing around!!!

Then for a beautiful pizza at Lucania!!!

Three intrepid riders, Limoncello, Labrico, and Balls, set out from the Bout du Monde stadium parking lot. Limoncello had difficulty extracting himself from a sweet young lady's car after offering to help her reverse her car.... Hhmmm....

Anyway, we eventually got onto our bikes and set off for the Petite Saleve. Hop-along Labrico is recovering from a recent hip operation, so we took it easy on him. ;))) He turned back at the foot of the Saleve, and Limoncello and Balls continued on their merry way. 

We didn't conquer the whole hill, light got the better of us! Limoncello is back on the bike - good news. Labrico is on the mend - even better news. Balls is repaired - ha!!!

Limoncello in action on the Saleve. ;)))
