English: Rien a dire...!

I've been a bit slack recently, no news from the Velofello for a month, did you miss me?

There is quite a bit going on here though, some great news on the team side, lots of shiny new bikes being built in the workshop and the first signs of spring on the way!

I'll update more on here soon, in the meantime here are some edited highlights of recent French posts in date order below:

Francois Dola our mad Masters rider finished 2nd behind JP Bruni at the first race of the season in Provence. Karim Amour won expert on the day.

Chatel is looking great under a fresh blanket of snow, we're heading up there this comming weekend for a invitational 4X on snow! Pics next week.

Thibault Veuillet competed in his first indoor trial event of the year in Toulouse, obviously he's been practicing this winter as he came second behind a 20" rider on his 26"!

Team Hips are still aiming to put themselves in hospital. They have now discovered another new cliff to drop...err..jump off...

We've finally finished our new team kit for 2006... ;-)

We rode a "Rando" (It's like a long course XC race but without numbers... and food stations every ten miles where they serve you sausages and wine...) down in Piolenc, and it was COLD!

First team outing of the season; courtesy of our friends at Chatel who looked after us well while we went skiing!

And finally, news of the lovely Celia, one of our favourite team riders... :-) The reason she's so damn fit is that she spends all winter doing XC skiing (like the funny stuff you saw on the Olympics last week) at a very high level indeed. IN the French Nationals she came 2nd, which seems to be the magic number for VArio so far this season..

That's all for now; laters biddy biddy!
