Chillin in the sun:
No luck on the bike but I enjoyed the day chilling and walking around Geneva. I bought some "goodies" at Globus and returned home for a feast. A little pre-cook pic:
I had a nice dinner and formulated a Saturday and Sunday plan.
Saturday morning was another good one with sun gleaming through my back door at around 7. I got up and decided that a little jumping and skiing was in the cards. I packed my backpack and I was off to France. The week before I made a wrong turn to Les Deux and ended up asking some bungee jumping guys directions. I thought that it was a cool idea to actually stop this week, so I was off to jump off a bridge. In transit through La Mure....I think I could live here:
I arrived and it was on!
The bridge:
Signage: (funny)
This place was funny. Essentially I handed some money and signed a form in French. No license, no nothing..Europe rocks!!! I was sent to wait in a line on the bridge and get suited up. The guys were mad professional and made me feel secure...but after waiting and watching about 5 people jump and scream I was getting a little nervous. As you can see from the video (once I can figure out on how to patch .VOB files together I will post the full video) below I did it...here is what it looked like from another angle (not me):
Like they say you are nervous on the bridge, nervous on the ledge, but after that everything is C$A$S$H...it was a blast! After watching my video in the little shack they call an office it was off to Les Deux where I was going to stay for the night. On the way I took some cool pics and just reflected on how cool it is to be in Europe!
Mom you would like this road ;-)
Chillin in FR:
I arrived in Les Deux and found a place to stay..not a bad view for 40 Euros!
There was a little beach party going on so I joined the party and got some burgers and cocktails. People were chill and I had a nice relaxing evening.
The lifts opened at 7:30, so I was up at the crack ready to rock and the day was aligned....sunny and warm:
The snow was a little hard in the early AM but softened up for great riding even off-piste...sick!
After a few hours I headed to the park and there was a comp which was cool to watch, but these "kids" hitting this 40 footer were killing it!
I moved to the smaller park and got my groove on. After I chilled at the top and took in the views:
I skied until about 12:30 (glacier closes at 1) and then got a Kebab in town. The drive home was actually pretty nice except the 32c (90+F) heat in the valley. Crazy right? 32F at 11000ft and 90F at 1000ft. All that being said I had another sick weekend....and as mom pointed out this is 10 in a row!!!!!!!!!! 2 more to go and I think I am on track for at least 19 months in a row! As I always say....but it is very, very true..without my family and friends I wouldn't be here to experience the life that I lead....much love...GG
