Route: Let's head in the opposite direction this week, and head towards Vevey along the lake. That will be about 15km, and those who want to keep it easy can just turn around and head back the same way to Lutry. Those that are up for a challenge can join for the climb from the base of the Vevey funicular (400 metres elevation) to the turn-off to the Mont Pelerin road above Chardonne (825 metres). The climb is about 10 km long, so the average grade is 5%, but it varies a lot, with a maximum of about 7 or 8% plus there is a downhill section that is maybe 500 m long. After the climb, you again have a choice - cruise back down to the lakeshore through Cully and back to Lausanne, or stay up in the hills, through Puidoux, Savigny and back into Lausanne above Chailly. Bring some lights if you plan to stay for the whole tour, it may be 9:00pm before we are back.

The weather for Wednesday looks hot: 30 degrees and sunny in mid-afternoon (if it looks like it will rain then the ride will be canceled that afternoon).

Time: 18:30. This doesn't give us a lot of time, so please try hard to be on time.

Meeting Point: We'll again meet on the edge of the city closest to the start of the ride, which this time means meeting in Lutry, on the route de Lavaux. The Voisinand bus stop is probably the best place, which is just past the intersection with Route de la Conversion (its the main intersection in Lutry).

Riding Speed: The pace will be modest heading out to Vevey, but depending on who opts for which route it may then get more intense. A road/racing bike or a fast hybrid will be the best kind of bike to use, and we will stay on paved surfaces.

BASIC SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: Bicycle helmet, a properly maintained bicycle with insurance sticker (Swiss velo vignette), sufficient cash for transport should your bike break down, and formal identification. A small set of emergency lights, or something bigger, are also recommended in case we end up later than expected.

CAVEAT: This event is organised with all care, but the responsibilities lie with each individual participant. We have simply named a time and place, the rest is up to you.
