The need for speed

What do you do to get over an all-too-warm winter in Geneva? Well, we went to France. Not that France is much colder, or that they have more snow than we do here, but there is an Ice Track and it hadn't quite melted yet!

A good friend of ours here in Geneva (who is actually from Northern California) is in the GoL motorcycle club and they advertised an outing to go Ice Quading & Ice Karting in the little town of Flaine. Gary and I were all over it! We piled in cars and drove about an hour and a half into France to the 'circuit de glace' for a little high-speed fun. There were 9 of us, and we were each issued a four-wheeler and given some brief instructions (in broken English, thank goodness). Then we were off. We raced around two different ice tracks, always feeling on the brink of spinning out... it was so much fun! The hour went by SO FAST! We opted for an extra half hour, but that flew by too.

After, we ate a traditional French Savoy lunch and spent the afternoon reminiscing about our fantastic morning. We had a great day, hanging out with some really nice folks and flying across the ice. Winter is still alive and well here! :)

G ready to go!


That's me... pushing the speed barrier...
