A really hard bike journey

Hello People!

This last weekend I went to give a bike tour with my friend Pascal, he lives close to the Jura, so the tour was mounting one of the hills of the Jura... as you can imagine, it was hard has hell!!
I was not able to mount everything on bike, I mounted on foot for about 2Km.
Now the big question: Was it worth it? Yes it was! The view from top is really beautiful, from there we can see:

• Almost all the Geneva lake


• The Geneva water jet


• The Divonne lake


• Lots of villages that I don't know the names (either in Switzerland or in France)


• The Alpes, it was petty that the sky was not clear, because from there we could see the Mont Blanc


• The Salève (which is the other mountain from the other side of Geneva)


• Lots of anthills


• Some cows

The other fun part was role down the mountain :) We caught a really good speed, which gave a good adrenalin injection.
Once down the mountain we went to see a water fountain, I have some pictures of it, but I could not locate the place on the map, I've asked my colleague to see if he helps me locate it.

Well that was it, here's the photo album:

Update 2009/07/17: The water fountain photos are now located on the map. Thanks Pascal!
Update 2009/07/18: Since Sunday that I've not been able to sleep right because I didn't knew the ant species name, but today I can sleep well! According to my biologist colleague Crespo, the ant that I photographed is Formica rufa (they do seem alike...). Thanks Crespo!! :)
