The Dirty Bikers

Had a great (if eventful) few days at the end of June with 8 guys from Wales who were here for the Pass'Portes (hmmm, there's only 7 in the pic....)





Less than 1 hour into their first run and Chris went over the handlebars culminating in several stitches in his face. Day 2 saw Danny go over the handlebars and he ended up with a broken finger which required plastering !



You are not coming in the chalet in that state !! Put the hose on them Robin !

summer kicks off


A pic of the very charming and fit Russ and Oscar to show you. They were here to compete in the CycloSportive on the weekend of June 20/21. I was mightily impressed when I discovered Russ came in 45th !! (out of a field of over 300) and Oscar was not far behind. 150kms up and down hills finishing at the lake - some people took nearly 11 hours to complete the course but our Russ came in at 6h20 - just 1hr behind the winner. However, he promises to be back next year to improve on this time !! I look forward to it guys !!
