First real bike trip

(English text below)

Mon première réelle route à velo a été. J'ai commencé à Aigle et je suis monté vers Corbeyrier. Après, j'ai continué à Les Agites. Il y a un tunnel juste avant Les Agites et vous pouvez aller qu'une seule fois par heure. Ce fut la première ascension, 1000m en tout. Après, je ai descendu vers Lac de l'Hongrin. Le lac est joli et il y a un grand barrage au bout. Apès le lac j'ai continuè vers Les Cases et je suis monté Col de Jamal. Le montée a été très diffucile -- 500m sur route des champs. Mais il a valu la peine. Le dernière descente a été 1000m sans interruption.

My first real bike trip was real success with two major climbs 1000m and 500m. I started at Aigle and climber through nice vineyards towards Corbeyrier. After that, I continued climbing up up to tunnel to Les Agites. After this initial 1000m climb, the route was better. I gradually descended towards Lac de l'Hongrin, went along its shores, near the big dam and down the valley towards Les Cases. Here I started my second ascent. This time only 500m. And with a bonus part  blocked by cows. Anyway, on unpaved road and after the previous climb, this one felt more like several kilometers. But after reaching Col de Jaman it was clear that the sweat was worth it. The last part of my trip was descent. Plain, one kilometer of altitude descent. I briefly stopped at Caux to see a ibg meadow full of daffodils. And by full I mean full -- the daffodils made it pretty clear to any other flower that this is their territory. The final few kilometers were on flat -- in Montreux I learnt that I just missed my train so I continued on bike to Vevey.


Trip route (this is the plan, the actual route was a bit different from Caux)
