BCS Relaxed 1 - Viry and back

Autumn is here and so is the colder (and possibly wetter) weather. A shorter ride this week, with several options to shorten the route and return to base if the conditions are unfavourable.
Join me on a relaxed ride out through the Geneva countryside to Viry (in France) and back again.
Just 44km with 410m climbing. Please note the 9:00 start time.

Please have EURO cash for the coffee break.

The weather forecast for Saturday morning is currently mixed and unpredictable - expected to be much cooler than in recent weeks - so come prepared with multiple layers and even rain gear!
