We still think a lot about our fantastic trip, and we're working at a movie that we are going to show at the Coupe Icare, next month.




Here, we have also to work again, and we still have to paint a lot in our house, but we're ready for that part!]]> http://www.flywithbike.com/blog/index.php?entry=26 These pictures are from Grand Bornand before we left for Annecy and Allevard.

We'll update our blog in a couple of days.

We had a little break at Chamoux (Bourgneuf), where we know a restaurant that's so good... so with stopped there and eated a lovely tartiflette and delicious desserts.



When we arrived in Allevard, no one was flying because there was too much wind. Normally, we're going to fly this afternoon, followed by a swim and a aperitive in the warm weather.




Pictures and gpstracks added.]]> http://www.flywithbike.com/blog/index.php?entry=24
Monday, we climbed the mount Criou, a mountain about 1800m high. Some friends of our group were with us. We left at 6 am and arrived on top at 1 pm. We flow a top to bottom flight, because we wanted a cool and calm flight after the long walking. We were the only two with a tandem, so we seperated the material, the harnasses from supair were good in the flight.

today, we climbed the col de la colombiere, 1618 m high, it was hard, very hard. Now, we're in Le Grand Bornand, where we arrived just before thunder and lightning. tomorrow we'll maybe fligh the Grand Bornand, we've never flown here before, and then going to Annecy.]]> http://www.flywithbike.com/blog/index.php?entry=23


We have already flown on Samoëns, Les Gets, Thonon les Bains and La Bourgoise.

We've also done a XC from Les Gets - Samoëns with flying over the Criou



In 2 days we're leaving this area and we're going to Annecy for flying the The Forclaz.





Maybe we're going to do a vol montangne tomorrow. We would like to fly the Criou, after three hours walking.]]> http://www.flywithbike.com/blog/index.php?entry=22 After 5 days of bad weather finally some good news " Sunshine"
We flew the new glider there! We had a very nice flight, about 30 minutes, but we didn't take pictures because we want to have a save and calm first flight with our Metis II and two new harnasses.
Had also some nice thermals like +2



We went to Champagnole, St Laurent, Morbier and Morez, and now we're in Les Rousses 1150m. This evening we'll take the boat to Thonon Les Bains, so tomorrow we're in Mieussy/ Samoens.

]]> http://www.flywithbike.com/blog/index.php?entry=21 So we went to the local school for fixing the second part of the reserve. You can see at the pictures the weather isn't that good for flying.

The boss of our camping always says "it's gonna be good weather tomorrow" but shes always wrong... we'll stay here for 3 days, and we hope we can fly the Mont Poupet tomorrow or the day after.
