VTT with Chloe and then dinner

I took my MTB out on the same route as CZ today.  She was a monster on the climb to Quaix, as expected.  Vertical climbing rate of 1000m/hr, which just about killed me on the mountain bike.



Later on, mom watched the kids again, and we went to an excellent restaurant in Correncoin called "le provence" with Lolo and Vero.  We shared an enormous and beautiful Bar (sea bass) with an amazing Puligny-Montrachet.

Oh, and there were desserts, too.  We ordered the "café gourmand", a concept that I was not familiar with until recently.  I had seen it on many menus, but had always taken it literally and just assumed that the "gourmand" referred to the café itself -- so like ... special beans?   However, what it actually is, is a café accompanied with a selection of small desserts.  I love the concept, and the Provence put together an all star team, shown below.
Thanks again mom!
