Run #12 - A French man went to...the Lac de Miribel - 14/07/2025

 HHHey Halfminds,

What a better way to celebrate July 14th than to ... go to the lavatory!

Following the recent heatwave, we all agree that a cool and wet one would be best for next Lyon H3 run. 

The hare told me, he has no clue yet, where he would take us, but he promissed a swimstop and some insider information on the asian food vendors hiding in the bushes around the lake...  (I wonder if there is a hidden message here...)

Here the details:

When : Monday 14th July at 10am 

Where : In front of the public toilets , plage du Morlet, All. du Morlet, 69120 Vaulx-en-Velin  
Between Brasserie du Grand Parc and Parking de la Capitainerie 

How to get there
Take bus N83 from Métro Laurent Bonnevay or bus N80 from Métro Vaulx en Velin la Soie. Stop at "Grand parc le Morlet" and walk 1 minute to the start. Bus every 20 min
Or bike it, along the Rhône
Cars : plenty car parks around


Hare : You Chew Mine

Hashcash : 5€

Bagdrop : probably
 
Swimstop : yes! get ready to be wet 
 
On after : we will do a picnic after the run, either by buying asian food from the street vendors (if they are around on that day) or from the local guinguette / frite house. This is pay as you go. You can also bring your own food.
And we will hang out by the lake afterwards...
 
 
 
 
 
Run report:
It was a hot morning, half of the pack still being hungover from the dancing (and maybe the drinking) at the Bal des Pompiers the night before...
 

After a confusing car ballet (2 hares, 3 cars!!!), the hares started an energetic and very thorough chalktalk... then mentionning that the huge rain downpour the night before had probably washed away all the marking...
 

However, runners and walkers didn't let that get in their way to the beerstop. 
 
And along the lake we went.
Over bridges and ridges... and naturist beaches...
 

 
Finally reaching the On Inn and the promised wet spot... I mean, the SwimStop!
 
 

Lunch was had somewhere in Asia... (yes, we ran that far).
 

 
And the drinking / sleeping /swimming went lazzily on all afternoon, so lazzy, that we didn't even have a circle...
