After a nice diner on Friday and a good start with coffe and croissants on Saturday morning, it was sceduled to ride a guided trial rando in groups with the local trial club.

We rode form 10h till 15h, up the mountains and down to the valley, up again till the top of the crete with its ski lifts. Splendid views, impressive clips, needed full concentration on the trails, otherwise you would find yourself some 100 meters down in the valley. This was organised by the regional moto club with permession from the local authorities on the tracks used. We rode in a groupof about 10 with 2 lodal tour guides.

After the great rando, about 16h, clouds got dark and a thunderstorm with pouring rain arrived, still we enjoyed some practising in the woods.

there is no bad weather, if there is good equipement and a Honda the rain cleaned the motos

 

 

On Sunday was the regional FFM Trial Selonnet, mostly modern with few Twinshocks and a very pretty commissaire at one difficult zone. I was allowed to ride the interzones, what I did twice. Foto and film.
