Tzouhalem: Ride Report

[schouten]

UPDATE

Tzouhalem is quite rideable for CX. Some good climbs and blue/purple trails that are accessible. I didn't get to see enough of the area to be certain (ride cut short due to injury), but it seemed to have enough trails to make a good CX destination.

And since it does not require an early ferry, it is fall friendly

----------------
Not sure, if anyone has seen this video before. What's possible on a cross bike is amazing!

P.S. I am Tzouhalem bound tomorrow (Hence the video inspiration). Will return with a ride report.

I hope you're alright, Ron. Please send pics --- of the injury.

Whoops, sorry JT. Since we are not connected on Strava:



You missed the details about who had the crash. It was our crash-prone banana supplier that took a spill.



I didn't take any pics of the carnage as he was pretty shook up and in no mood for the paparazzi. Take my word for it that it was a bad crash and he is lucky to walk away from it with only a fractured helmet to replace.

I am sorry to hear that, Ron. I hope and trust that a cracked helmet was the very worst of it.

Yes, and he was on his downhill mountain bike so his cross bike is just fine

We were quite the eclectic mix of cyclists: Downhill MTB, Hardtale MTB, and CXer (in Lycra). We turned a few heads on the trails. Mwahahahaha!
