.. the sun.
We got up early and went down to Les Sorbiers, for us to help out with the cleaning up. Only to find Rob in full control. So I ended up watching a DVD about Paris – Roubaix cycle race with Dave, well Rob made us, e.g he put it on the player.
While Peli was running around reminiscing about her days working at Les Sorbiers, so well that she ended up smashing a pot of yogurt on the floor.
We could only get to rent some MTB’s in the afternoon, so the big day out MTB’ing didn’t happen. Though we did have a couple of hours of fun in the hills behind Bareges.
I have never ridden off road with any kind of suspension and both of us didn’t have our clip less pedals on and Peli couldn’t get a bike that fitted her. So riding was well hard, our feet kept coming off the pedals. Peli couldn’t reach the floor when she was on the MTB, so she didn’t have as much fun as us others but still had a go at it.
I kept expecting that big hit and only to find the suspension to take the rock or hole, very weird never tried that before.
Going down the single track forest track was well fun, though I just couldn’t figure out how to do a right turn, but left I was some what good at. So at most turns I came to a complete halt, turned the bike around and continued, mainly because most of the turns had a very steep drop next to them.
I did look back once only to see Dave pick himself off the ground. I myself had to do a quick dismounting when my front wheel went, and did a hop, skip and a cometoastopveryfastbeforegoingdownthesteepbit. Dave and me saw Rob on his bike going behind a bush only to see him on the other side of the bush without the bike, what he did behind we do not know 🙂
The evening was spend with a dinner at La Rozell and good old natter with the family. And went down to Les Sorbiers to drop the last bits that Dave would back for us, thanks Dave. And of course to say goodbye to Rob and Rachel.
