anywhere similar next summer.
just been running a few ideas through my head about something like this…
a week camping/chalet based in the alps (bourg st maurice possibly).
would anyone be interested??? 8)

great idea.

me. I'd be interested. But not camping. It can rain a bit up there.

Who's paying?

keep me posted Tony

what paulosoxo said

fella's money is for spending……..no pockets in coffins and all that… 😉

That sounds like a good idea! Might be interested if it would be able to provide activities for the non riding other half.

Room for another big lad??

Worth paying for uplift IMO.

Unbelievably the missus just said 'you can if you want' despite rusty jr no.2 being due in the new year. Bless her.

when based in bourg, you can pretty much ride all week without much uphill pain.

We could be interested, I'd probably ride and Mrs F would ride a little and do some walking in the hills.

ton – still worth paying for uplift, unless you particularly like climbing.

Stay away big fella, it crap there, they wouldn't like you any way 😀

(let us know if you do go over, we are staying for 2 months would be good to meet up with u and jedi etc..)

Could be…

What a good idea, we could get that IWH chap to sort it all out.

Joking aside, it is a good idea, will keep an interested eye on it.

ton might be worth thinking about southern spain also at least youre sure its not going to piss down all week as it can in the alps
would be interested tho – finances permitting
will speak on sunday g

open to any suggestions to be honest.

Surely you could buty a bike for the price of that holiday?
Also interested keep me posted and do you want that Shimano rear mech?

oh no thanks you very much.
I already have to put up with you on here without to have to consider waiting for you all day long on trail you can't neither ride fast up nor down 😉

Could do you a good deal if you decide on to make it the Spanish Costas. http://www.sierracycling.com. Also good for non-biking other halves.

I'd be up for this if it is based in France, I will probably be over the italian side during the summer, maybe a couple of days in Pila and the singletrack joy that is La Thuile? (Pila is often dry when it is raining on the frenchy side)

alan, how many can you cater for if it was a en block booking…

Ton,
We can cater for up to 18 persons in our 2 4-bed beach houses.

Go for a dryer bit than Morzine e.g. the valais, pila, somewhere more sunny and a bit less expensive than france.

Might as well drop in and offer a group deal as well! We can only take 8 at present, but planning to increase that to at least 12, maybe 16 for next summer.

The Sainte Foy / Les Arcs / Bourg Saint Maurice area is much, much drier than Morzine BTW. No mud, ever.

Hell yeah, defo interested in a Les Arcs type week, keep me in the loop!

Unbelievably the missus just said 'you can if you want'

Ahh! woman speak.

Translated that means "don't you dare go"

just booked 6 nights (22.06.10 – 28.06.10) in cham if you want to join us;

flight (manc – geneav – manc) inc bike £102.93
transfer (geneva – cham – geneva) £ 50.00
6 nights accomm in cham (own room & bath) £246.00

Total £398.93

5 day lift pass approx £90.00

not bad for an uplift week in cham

I'd be tempted by a week with big hills and sunshine, so keep me in the loop too. don't mind where either!

if you were thinking bourg st maurice, I'd recommend giving ash at trailaddiction a shout, he might do you a deal. They can take 25 to 30 in a week (in twin and triple ensuite rooms) and have about 5 or 6 guides I think. And they are located right on the lift system too (no time wasted pedalling or sitting in vans to get to the lifts).

Actually I think mike from dialledbikes was going to arrange an owners trip back there next summer too.

Hmm, what if you are a STW forum member AND a dialledbikes owner. Is this a loyalty test? 😉

Thats me!!

was thinking train travel from london to bourg……….a nice long journey with a nice long drinking session to help it along 8)

I don't mind driving a mini bus with a massive bike trailer with it..

Road trip anyone???

I would be interested. Just not in July though…family holiday then. 😀

udnylad

bourg + White room would work (literally just down the road) Had a great time with a large group this year but open to anything…

As for an STW holiday fest, well it might be a bit of a sausage-fest but I reckon it would be a good laugh, I'm provisionally in…

Teetoo, we drove down and took MTB and road bikes (sorry) and really enjoyed it 😀 the Alps/big hills in general ROCK!!!

If I can swing it with the Mrs I'd be up for it. Probably when she goes to see the inlaws.

I really can't recommend The White Room highly enough.
