First time in the Alps this summer for me and my Nicolai Helius AC 29er with 160mm Ohlins fork upfront… Bit excited.

In Les Arc for last week in July if anyone else is likely to be around?

Taking the 301 providing I get the forks and stealth back from RS in time as they are having warranty work done 🙁

The website jamba refers to is

Philstone – Cool, sounds great, I’m off to Bike Village again, be the fourth year in a row I think!

Cheers!

Voila – Chalet des Loyes

EDIT: Welsh that website is a goldmine, thanks soooo much for posting it. You never know I might see you out there if I can get organised.

After the last four years on my trusty and much modified Zesty:

It’s new bike time for me, taking my DuneXR this year:

😆

I hate to boast but my garden is the nicest. Welsh Farmers is quite good. Needs a mow though.

The 170mm coil sprung Rohloff Canadian heavy weight will get two trips to the Alps, one to Italy & christmas in Portugal this year 😀

@snaps curious attachment on seat post ? can you drop the saddle ?

Extra bottle holder for the flowing trails where I like to ride without a backpack

But I swap the seatpost for the more techy rides

Part of life’s rich tapestry 😉

I’ll be taking this to Morzine in 3 weeks, Banshee Spitfire, will not be running the carbon wheels though!

Will be my first Alps trip and I will be taking my new orange five.
I’m there for the last week of July with white room. Can’t bloody wait.

Nice one Shaungero! You’ll love it with TWR! Stevo and Iona are great hosts and know how to plan and execute and amazing week of riding. We’re with them at the end of june this year 😀

Knew I shouldn’t have opened this thread, first year I can’t go after four on the bounce 😥

TWR is awesome! Team Pat.
No offence Iona Stevo & Alex

Spectral ex for me this year, just about got everything ready, apart from my riding ability.

Maxtorque and Pat will be rekindling their bromance this year no doubt. 🙂

I’m expecting some serious competition for the award of “Crashy McCrashFace” for the week……

😆

Currently here

but on a Trek Session 88.

Will be back with it, a Ducati1098s, a Gas Gas EC300, and a Capra in July.
Well you did ask 😉

Taking this to White room end of August /start of September. Banshee phantom.

Looking forward to seeing how big wheels and short travel cope in alps next to gnarpoon enduro ubersledges……

Enduro2 in Les Arcs in a few weeks time on my Rune (I will be running my carbon wheels, why not?!)

Then family hols in Slovenia for 2 weeks. I’ll be sneaking out for a couple of days on either the Rune or my Switchback, cant decide yet 🙂

Yep I’ve heard La Varda is back open again this year too. Haven’t ridden it for a few years now!

There’s always nest year to look forward to 😀

Must remember to take a trailer full of extra tubes next time for Jon

for the anual trip to the alps in september I`ll take this one with me..the white one..
but according to the wheelsize debate with a 26″ backwheel instead of the 24″ shown.. 😀
and with coil spring shock..

10 years old, short and high.. but still my favorite choice for exploring tech trails in the valaise valley

Possibly taking this one from Geneva to Nice in September.

That’s quite a shakedown. Given the amount of water in France at the moment at least it will float 🙂

Not decided if I’ll go yet – had an invite and there’s a spare place.
Ive London>Paris & Paris>Geneva so it’d round them off nicely.

surly instigator 26 plus for me.
trail addiction first week in july, then the white room third week in july. 😀

Liteville 301 for Enduro 2 25-27 June Les Arcs. Wish I’d started training earlier…

I’ll be riding my lovely Ragley Blue Pig. Might post a photo tomorrow, can’t seem to post photos using my iPhone.

2013 orange alpine.. the same bike ill be taking next year too.

This…

It’s extremely good 8)
