I'm heading to the Alps shortly for a holiday and just happen to be taking the bike, although its not a biking holiday.
We're staying near Annecy and La Clusaz is not very far away. Apparently it has 22 XC trails covering 200 kilometres.
I have no idea what to expect. Normally ride solo and assume that this will be fine as long as I take care, after all its just a bike ride, but somewhere different.
How do the Continental Alpine XC routes compare to the UK? I figure as long as I don't take my brain out and go hell for leather then all should be Ok.
Any advice on the La Clusaz area much appreciated.
I'm kind of ruling out DH stuff as that may involve hiring a guide and probably a bike. Any idea's if I can pay to tag along with other guided groups as I'll be all on my tod.
