How I've known the bike

I've known the bike with the mountain bike. My Daddy have been riding for... and much more.  He tried to share his hobby with me when I was 8, but he wasn't successfull. So he let me do some others sports (horse riding, karate...)

When Mountain bike came to Switzerland in about 1990, I'd like to know how it was. Daddy decided to beginn this sport with me. We foooound it very great. We were happy to share something together.

We have discovered Metabief and its wonderfull forest

Track experiency (27th August 1995)

Le Cyclophile Lausannois organise a race at the Velodrome of Lausanne
These races are for young people under 18 years old.

The first race is the 500m and then the kilometre.

	The start is close, I try to take the best position on my bike.
The first meters are always the most difficult !!

As I'm only a cyclist, how to participate to a triathlon ???
It's simple, there is a relay category. To participate, I simply have to find a swimmer and a runner.
Once the team is formed, it's time to start.
 

I'm ready and waiting for the swimmer of my team that won't be long now.
	Few after the start it's the climb of the  Vallée de la Jeunesse.
Narrow corner to start lap two ...

Descent of the Montéla  (28th Septembre 1996)

Don't think I've forgotten my Mountain bike...

It doesn't look like but it's very steep. Before i could pass, i had to try several times.  Once you have beat your fear, it feels so good to have done it
