With Stephen playing up in the hills this promised an easier day, and the e-bikers were sadly absent too, only three men were on the bummel on a windy but sunny and cool-ish day setting out from Everness. Peter D, Mark 2ts and Peter T.
We lurched off into the wind for ravitaillement at the plage at Prangins, now sheltered from the Bise and with a number of ladies taking the plunge for us to admire while dipping croissants into our coffees.
All to soon we were forced to face the fact that this was not a GINclub sunbathers event, so we set off up past Prangins Airfield, through Trelex, and Gingins to Bonmont (where else if Peter T is leading?), with the wind now in our sails.
After almost losing the peloton on the descent (they lost me!) we arrived in Divonne and settled upon La Truite for lunch. It was busy so not a fast service but the beer was good and so was the food. Three fine courses for Eu 19.50 (our coffees replaced the dessert course). Recommendable.
A very pleasant short day out, but some of us had errands to run. I clocked 45 km and 490 m deniv (from Coppet).
