“Fred’s Last Ride” – 40 kms en VTT


Great time today for Fred’s last group ride on the mountain bikes. We got an early start this morning at 8 a.m and took off through downtown Senlis with Fred, Harry, Bruno, Fabrice and David.

The decision was made to head for the Halatte forest and ride around the hills and valleys in the Mont Pagnotte region. Whose crazy idea was that?

In fact, it was a perfect decision as we found some new trails, rode on some old trails, got more or less lost, found our way again, got scraped up, met a new MTB rider, did some good altitude gain and then got rained on! What more could you ask for?

Since that wasn’t good enough for Fred, he decided that he would do some last minute trail-blazing and create a new trail …

DSC00686 “OK guys, We’re gonna go this way!”

So, after that we put the hammer down and hit the trails at speed ;

Then, Fred found nothing better to suggest than to climb a few steep hills ;

Overall, we had a really nice ride today with everything you’d expect from an MTB ride, except maybe mud (but I didn’t want to get my bike dirty…).

We all wish good luck, happy trails and long rides to Fred as he moves away to the hilly terrain of …Miami!
