Gins Biking to Gilly 3 Sept 2020

10am sunny morning and five of us set off from Divonne car park. The peloton (short of Long) ambled up to Bonmont to help me get B165, and thence swooped down and across to Givrins for a coffee on a sunny terrace, avoiding patisseries available as we had a table booked at the Auberge de Gilly at noon. We sped over via Coinsins and Vich in a single breakaway and were soon ensconced around a round table drinking beer and then tucking into the rather fine fare they provide there. Recommended and at a good price. We set off back in warm sun via Trelex and Grens and were soon back at the start. 55 km or so. 300m deniv? A fine day out with time for a siesta, or in my case a powerpoint presentation in Mongolian.

Attending : Peter Drew, Mervyn, Philip, Mark Wtts and me.

Bonmont (for me 165)
Fine food (not meat honest!)
Not smiling to order..
Merci to all. Sorry we missed Steve, Paul and others.
