So we have been hanging out in Champery all week since Val di Sole. Val di Sole was right below the Passo Tonale.
We had an awesome authentic Italian dinner our last night there. We got invited to one of Benno's friend's hotel. It was some of the best pasta I've ever had.
Since getting to Champery we have been logging in some serious laps on the World Champs course. It is a short 4 KM technical circuit that has 1, 2 minute climb and 1, 1 minute climb, the rest either downhill or flat with tons of roots. It is 1 of our best courses.
It is somewhat of a "Couples Retreat" here in Switzerland with Burry having Cherise here and Lene having Sondra. I do have Sandy "AKA Dirty Dog" and Jonny though. Cherise has been working over Burry on her roadbike.
I also got a new Epic when we got here. It is definitely going to be my race bike of choice for World Champs. The big wheels and plush suspension soak up all the roots and rocks. The Brain locks everything out though for the steep climbs, couldn't think of any other bike I would rather race.
And finally, this one is for Meg, Swiss Recycling!
Today we're off to Bern for a Racer Bike Cup night race. The race is a UCI C1 event in the middle of the city of Bern. It's a 1 hr crit through the city with some stairs and jumps put in so a MTB is must. We're not in Leadville anymore. No time for musettes, only water bottles.
1 last leadville pic, warping through the thin air.
I wonder what Meg and Winston are doing right now.....
