Not me unfortunately.

I've already had my yearly allowance out there. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Bet you'll love it though.

You might even get to ride this.

Now that's what I'm talking about! That looks amazing. Any tips you can give would be really helpful.

Get Phil to tell you whose fault it was that all the flights into Geneva were delayed on the first big Saturday of the 2010 bike season.

It sounds like it's going to be a humdinger of a week! Most of my Alps riding has been just the usual one week in Morzgets just focusing on riding the DH tracks. To be honest, that's a pretty dull prospect these days.

The best days I've had in the Alps were the less manmade trails in Chamonix and the video you posted looks a lot like that.

So, ahem, what tyres did you run? Looking at the video I can't imagine for one second getting away with anything other than dual ply tyres.

Your going to love Verbier if you prefer the trails like above it's a wash with them. Really wish I was going but another year gone by that I've not got. Sounds like Phil's jokes haven't got any better.

Would normally be there this week and next week but we have had to give it a miss due to Katies back operation. Best place we have ever rode, have booked for next year.
