South France… Day 7 and 8

Wooow a quick update! After we rode “Vitikul Trails” on day seven we headed to Montpelier. Our Friend Jerome offered us to stay at his house what saves a lot of time we wasted on driving the other days! So merci Jerome! When we arrived at his house we got told its time to go out! So we had some french driving lessons in Jerome’s car and drove to Downtown Montpellier. By the way there is to say the scariest seconds I experienced in france were the ones in Jerome’s Car! In Germany we pay attention to speed bumps, speed signs and of course tight bends… the French way is different! A French favours to go round a tight bend on two wheels and cuting it as well than steping on the brake! When we intactly made it to Downtown Montpellier we just enjoyed the beautiful oldtown with its mediaevally narrow alleys. We walked from bar to bar and just had a good time!
We also met the Grabels locals and Jerome arranged a session for the next day!

The next day we just got invited to Silver’s house for a barbecue! He built a pretty good spinemini in his yard as well! So we had some laid back hours there and drove to Grabels later on!

Grabels is not just one of France’s oldest but one of the best Trail Spots as well! So many lines and jumps! Amazing! There are lines with more than 13 proper jumps! We well had a good sessions there and decided to go there the next day again!
