Just thought I'd stick this up as a discussion thread as a few people seem to be over in Aug 2016. So using it to see who else is going to be up for a days riding, feel free to put other random Morzine date around that time if you wish, but i'll only be riding on that particular day. I'm proposing meeting around Torico bike shop as it's fairly central and not too busy usually at that time of morning, for say 9.15-.9.30 and then either up the Pleney or shoot over to Super Morzine. Ideally at some stage around 1 ish i'll meet up with Mrs Weeksy and my boy for lunch, but that depends on where they actually end up spending their day, currently Avoriaz has been discussed, maybe rafting... Who knows... But if anyone has any ideas on what the wife and the boy can do then please fill me in. LAst time I was there I took the lift up and then walked over to Les Gets and had a look round as the PPDS event as being hosted there, but I honestly think that will be too much walking so Avoriaz is more likely I guess. They'll have the car so could in theory meet us wherever.

unfortunately I'm still tied to school holiday dates so even if I smuggle Stoner Jrs out of the country and away from school early (as we didi this year to get to the TdF), It's usually end of week 3 beginning week 4 before I can get to Morz.

Our dates are decided by me really, i was thinking that it makes sense to go as early as possible as the trails will be in the best condition then ?

I'm still likely to do a day in Aug though as we're still passing through the area for the wifes birthday weeklong extravaganza

Thanks Stoner, what still amuses me is being at the cafe by that lake everyone sipping a cold one when Ambrose comes around the corner holding a phone to his ear and asks " does anyone know anything about capital gains tax?" Funnily enough 2 financial advisers in our group..who'd of thunk it?
Another pic..think this was returning back up to Mossetts lift

I'll bet if he'd asked about building a citric server farm we'd have had a few answers too

Hiraeth- ('longing' in Welsh) is calling me home to Wales but I have had a superb time here in Morzine. I met some great people, did some great rides, then broke some great forks. The hire bike was a bit of an eye-opener too. 650b, marvelous.

And Jo is always open for a bit of tax advice...

tymbian, I'm in Garnant, a sleepy hamlet at the south west end of the Brecon Beacons. Sort of between Swansea and Carmarthen. Nearest town is Ammanford. Give me a shout when you're coming this way.
