 WAOUH.... a long ride of pleasure on a timeless natural rocky trail !! with a wonderfull take through scary bare trees. Better than a bike park for disorientation.

 ...mais ça, c'était avant de suivre l'entrainement "spirit of enduro".
Nan mais vraiment, avec le débroussaillage la première partie depuis St Martin est nettement plus rapide, et ils ont dégagé un peu la portion de relace entre les deux. Du coup on doit pouvoir faire un temps plus... respectueux de notre ego.

 For non-french speakers: fracasnoxteam is whinning about how slow we were on this trail last time that we rode it, and I'm finding some bullshit excuses about how we would eventually break the 40-minute barrier. Which is only 2 times slower than Theo Galy's time. Seightseeing, breathing & arm-recovering breaks not included.

...I think we should sell our enduro bikes and go fatbike on the beach.
