On Saturday morning, the advance mountain bikers take off towards the local forest. They follow the tree lined footpath that runs next to the local stream and nearing its source somewhere amongst the forest. The pace of the biking was fast, and everybody was working hard to stick together. Once in the forest, it was time to find  the central path, it is large and heads in the direction of school, and most importantly in travels down hill!  At the bottom of the forest path when the treeline comes to an end and the bikers enter the morning sun, a small drinking spring is located by  the path to provide the thirsty rider with a cold mouthful of refreshing spring water. After giving the legs a couple of minutes to recharge, onward towards school, the final one kilometre, cutting through the back streets of Versoix.
