Présilly VTT 2009 - my first organsised mountain biking event.























VTT - Vélo tout terrain, the french for mountain biking, is another popular activity in the region. I had wanted to try out one of the many organised sessions - but there was always a good reason to do something else. Nevertheless, a few weeks after moving house and an organised VTT day in the neighbouring village of Présilly by the local VTT club.

Arrived for a rather chilly start to choose one of the routes. The 32 Km route blur run with 750m of climb was selected - though GPS was to confirm that at least 2 of the stats to be underestimated!
