[Closed] so what is "Alps" riding then?

puking in sinks, 2 lovely ladys - sounds like a belter of a trip 😛

Whatever it is I AM DOING IT THIS WEEKEND! Woooop.

Well. Actually I will be skiing in the Alps then biking in the valley bottom which I guess technically isn't alpine but whatever....Ride what you want.

Having done Morzine last year for the first time, on an 80mm XC bike, IMHO you just need to run what ya brung and enjoy yourself. For me, the XC stuff is more enjoyable, but running (mincing) the DH tracks on my wee bike, although not a good match, brought on my riding I think.

Don't worry about other people, consider what you want to do, then do it.

I got an offer of a DH bike for a day, but didn't take it up, as I'm not a DH kinda rider, I'm too timid and not into big jumps / drops / fast descents. Other people are, more power to their elbow!
