The weather was not on our side today, with a forecast of 13 degrees max and 91% chance of rain. This did not deter us, we were determined to make the 80km round trip by bike, to Aigle Switzerland where the World Cycling Centre is located.We met our new found cycling buddy from Colorado on the way and arrived at Aigle just in time to have lunch at the WCC with elite cyclists-in-training. Lunch was a good change from pizza, pasta and pastries (life's tough) and the cycling museum was interesting to look around. We got to see some trackies doing motorpacing on the velodrome while we waited for the rain to ease (wishful thinking).
We swapped off for the ride home, inspired by the elite cyclists, we averaged 46.7km/h for the 38km journey ; )

You'rehaving so much fun you won't want to come home. Send us a bit of rain too!
Sorry the "anonymous" was none other than "Betty Boop"!
Nice Wind Tubine it's a bit bigger than ours, it could be a RE Power one and we just bought 30% share in that company. Keep up the good work, it's a great escape from work following your travels to various cafes around Europe.
