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.

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.Posted 2 years ago # -
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

will speak on sunday gPosted 2 years ago # -

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?Posted 2 years ago # -
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 Posted 2 years ago # -
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...
Posted 2 years ago # -
Ton,
We can cater for up to 18 persons in our 2 4-bed beach houses.Posted 2 years ago # -
Go for a dryer bit than Morzine e.g. the valais, pila, somewhere more sunny and a bit less expensive than france.
Posted 2 years ago # -
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!

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