A gloomy and wet start from Samoens, brief ride down the valley and a slow circuit(s) of Clues as Geoff tried to find the start of Colombiere. Excitement levels rise as we see the sign showing a 1613m Col . Group stays together for most of the climb and split as we get closer and the weather closes in
My spies tell me that the leading group comprised Dangerous Dallas, Dateless Dave, with Compass Geoff tucked in behind. JR was closely follows by Lesley, she does that all day!
Mike then appeared out of the mist and Barry steered Jonathan to the top guided by a combination of grunts and cow bells. Lee- the Pro manfully rode with Robina
We had great help from our drivers Agnes and Dominic brilliantly directed by Jeff- alias one- wing.
Brief regroup at cafe then great downhill before a short ! climb of 566m to the top of Col des Aravis then 10k downhill to Flume-plus a 4k uphill to the hotel!
No sports channels here so had to reply on Laura's updates via viber to get the great result for the Americas Cup.
The dummy award was passed on to Dallas for trying to head plant a wall on the wrong side of a tunnel road.
