This morning I went over to the UCI velodrome at Aigle to pick up my new season ticket, find out which storage hook I've been allocated this winter, and drop off my new track bike at the velodrome. Since I was there, it seemed rude not to have a few laps, so I spent about an hour riding around. For the last 45 minutes I was the only person on the track. Which was nice. @Cycliste dropped her bike off but didn't go on track as the new tub on her front wheel was only fitted last night and she insisted that the glue should have 24 hours to dry.
The reason no-one else was on track was because the weather's been glorious today, so after the velodrome @Cycliste and I went for a quick up-and-down ride to the local ski station at Les Plaiedes. This is @Cycliste about half way up the climb, with Lake Geneva in the background:
The view about three-quarters of the way up the climb:
And @Cycliste disappearing rapidly into the distance on the descent:
Tomorrow we're going mountain biking around Leysin. Yay!
