Sunday morning came and as agreed we kitted up and ready'd the bikes.
It had been raining hard all night but now was much lighter.
We set out following the route we had recce'd the previous day in the van.
We ended up heading for Geneva via Morez and as we climbed the mountains, the altitude had a noticeable effect on my bikes performance.
The temperature was dropping and the rain started to get heavy again then my brother had a nasty moment when he had a two wheel side wards slide on a bend.
He wasn't even going fast and although it happened on a sharp right hand bend, he wasn't even cranked over that much.
We pulled over and put it down to greasy roads and his Maxxis tyres that had squared off in the middle and had a definitive ridge before it went over more to the edge.
