Most of the regulars were Saas Feeing, mending bust legs, in foreign climes or had other feeble excuses so there were just 4 of us turned out for this ride: Peter D (leader)and Mark 2Ts (push bikes), Mike Muller and Richard Flett (electric).
We started at the Everness and followed a route roughly equivalent to the map below. Our leader had thoughtfully provided this in advance in case anybody got detached from the peleton, seems like a bit of history there!
We followed the old railway line up to Gex and then across to Vesancy to find the restaurant closed so we continued, coffeeless, through the golf course at Bonmont and onto Gingins. We decided to miss the usual Bonmont hill as the other Peter would be upset if we did it without him. At least the reasoning went something along those lines.
We made a slight detour at Gingins to see Mike’s new house, last week a hole in the ground, now about to put the roof on, moving in tomorrow.
By now it was lunch time so we dropped down to the auberge in Founex for well deserved beers and a great plat du jour.
A very pleasant ride and not too hot, at least at first.
Great ride despite another dodgy coffee stop, and fab prefab Mike ! Sorry I missed it.
