CH in full effect! ..PDS VTT

As I told you last post I am getting addicted to this VTT stuff and I can tell you now.......I am fully...100%....done..I love it..mtns, CH, friends, excercise, and fun!! What more can you ask for? Everyday I go out in the mtns is a great one and this past weekend is not exception. I chilled on Friday night recovering from a cold and got up on Saturday to a "Il fait beau jour." I was meeting Ripz/Jay for another day at PDS. Friday night I went and scoped bikes but didn't pick one up in Les Gets or Morzine. I headed to PDS with no bike, but I got lucky and found a deal on a 2006 Kona Stinky. There was a little negotiating, but after a few test runs and I now own a bike!

After the purchase it was time to get some eats and luckily there was a cow festival in Les Croset in PDS. Jay and I grabbed some "Grillade" and a bottle of "vin" ...this was a party!

I went home that night stoked and tired but ready for another day on Sunday.
Sunday came and Jay was not ready. That was OK. I was up early cleaning the flat and ready to rock. I headed to Pully to Jay's to get my gear and pick up my bike in PDS. I arrived at Jay's and said hello to Jen and grabbed my gear. I took the local route on the way up to PDS...great views as always in CH:

I arrived at PDS, grabbed the bike, and went off to Les Croset to run the VTT. I rode for 3+ hours and then headed back to Geneva. I had another great weekend, but before it was over I searched my pics for one that I forgot to add prior. Here are some... National Day in Carouge...in from of my place:
