A new addiction....VTT in CH!

So VTT stands for Velo Tout Terrain (in English Bicycle All Terrain)and I am officially addicted. Before getting to that my week started with a little travel back to DE for work. On Monday I was in Marktheidenfeld for a meeting and then stayed in Frankfurt that night. The next day I drove 200KM an hour to GG (Gross Gerau)for some more meetings and back to GE that evening. The rest of the week was a little painful with employee reviews but Friday arrived quickly.

On Friday night I chilled in and had a nice dinner (as always prepared by Chef Geo) and went to bed early because I knew I was going VTT with Ripz.

For some reason I woke up at 6 AM...kinda like when I go skiing...weird..but I was so stoked to hit the trails and get in the mtns again. I LOVE CH! Ripz and I were meeting up with another Mag from TGR Brian. I picked up Brian in Geneva. He is working for the WHO on an intership from Berkley. We headed to Morgin part of PDS where Brian and I were going to rent bikes. Brain and I met Ripz (Jay) at Lavaux and then headed. We arrived on a cloudy/sunny AM. After getting our bikes (Kona Stinkys)we were ready to rock! This angle of PDS was new for me so it was very cool. Some rad terrain and great views!

We got back to Morgin around 4:45 tired, beat, and stoked...VTT RULES!

That night I cooked a roast beef at "chez moi" for P+P and then went to watch the Fete fireworks in Geveva. The rest of the weekend was chill, but I kept thinking about biking....I am truly addicted. As always more to come for G! Love to my family and friends....I miss you. -G

PS: I am truely blessed.
