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!!!

Oh baby, what a night!!!
