Whiteroom 21st of June can't wait!
Any more whiteroomers for the 21st. If you ate bubblegum ice cream at about 3pm today chrism110 I may know you!
Not a classic "alps" trip - but something I've been wanting to do for a while, which is riding to the alps and then through them - going to be doing it completely self supported, camping, and at quite a leisurely pace. I aim on ending up in Slovenia after about 20 days and 1100 miles of cycling.
Rough route (if any of you have any pointers/tips or places you think are worth a visit - do say!)

From August 9th to 23 we are off to Les Gets again because we love it there so much. Any one else there at that time fancy some non-DH based riding? To date I've never wholly done any of the full-on DH runs like the Pleney or the stuff into Les Gets, we just catch the lift up into the hills and wend our way over to Switzerland or wherever. There is loads to do, I'm finding new stuff every year, from the newly built stuff to the more 'off-piste' secretive stuff. The Strava HeatMap gives a few clues.
The network is so immense that you can just spend day after day after day riding new stuff.
I've spotted a new descent 1000m descent- but it needs a fair few hundred metres of climbing to get to it. Col du Fornet anyone?
I usually go to Les Arcs or Chamonix but fancied a change this year and went to Portugal - quick right up here but in short, it was amazing! Different to the Alps but just as much fun and about half the price at present. Probably a bit hot in July/Aug but worth a look:

Bikevillage, third time.
If you want to ride some really rewarding trails (which involve pedaling up to usually) as opposed to lift and bash type of riding the I'd highly recommend them.
White Room at the end of the week - excited is an understatement. Much component upgrading because "they're needed" 😉

And may not finish until the day we leave depending on when the CCDB Inlines land.
The season is upon us. 12 sleeps (and a whole world of work stress) to go!
