BCYCLET Wednesday After Work Ride 2023 #FINALE
18.10.2023
It looks like the weather on October 18 will be more autumnly, but still dry. Ideal conditions for the End-of-Season-Ride and Fondue!
What does this entail? A short ride, followed by a Fondue at Sa Da Ra in the Bois de la Bâtie. While you don’t need to sign up for the ride, we need to reserve the Fondue before. Please fill out the following Doodle till Friday this week, so we know how many people are coming. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/egkpvB3e
Can you come just for the Fondue? Yes, of course! The Fondue will start at 19h30, if you cannot get out from work earlier or cannot ride for some reason, you are very welcome just for the cheesy part!
What does it cost? Unfortunately, cheese is not free in Switzerland. If I remember correctly, the Fondue is 25 CHF per person, beverages depending on consumption.
Does end-of-season mean no more rides? We cannot do After Work Rides after mid-October, it gets too dark too early. But there will be Saturday Rides, Sunday Rides, Weekend Rides, and plenty of other opportunities to ride our bikes. Also, BCYCLET has some Saris trainers on sale, if you are looking to ride stationary indoors!

We climb to Le Coin – but via the Country Club Bossey, then pass Blécheins, and (mostly) descend through Le Châble, Malchamp, Éluiset, and Germagny, before coming back to Switzerland via Sézegnin, and closing the loop through Athenaz and Avully.
