The Frenchies

So I got invited to go biking with a group of folks (3 French guys and a Brit) around moon lake on Sunday morning at 8:30 am. I was excited to find a group of folks who would want to go mountain biking and the thought that there might be trails that we could ride on without dodging cars, buses, and pedestrians.

Turns out the Frenchies like to ride hard. 35 km on the trail and then another 20 km ride home on the road and I was pretty knackered. I haven't spent 4 hours in the saddle in awhile and had a hard time walking for the rest of the day.

This made for a great experience for me, but hardly blog worthy except for 2 little details.

1) When we get to the top of the hill, the frenchies turned into movie stars with chinese women flocking all around them. Not sure what those french guys do, but they drive women crazy all over the world. Someone needs to explain this to me.

2) The luge run. In the middle of the park they have a little bunny hill ski run with a small ski lift. If you're not into skiiing as much, they have the alternate entertainment of little luge cars riding on steel rails at the top of the hill. Unfortunately, they had a cable across the rails that I couldn't figure out how to dismantle or else it would have been go time.
