A friend and I have free use of an apartment in Morzine from July 12 - July 17th (4 full riding days in practice). The apartment is about 5 minutes from the centre (Dixie Bar, Rhodos and Bar Robinson - if that means anything to anyone?).

We are both 'OK' riders. Our focus will definitely be on descending. However, since a couple of wrist breaks I developed something of an aversion to large drops (the limit of what i do now is, for example, the largest drop at the top of spooky wood, Glentress, the B-line at 'Degla or the Hope Line at Gisburn).

So first question is: can anyone recommend a ride of series of rides that are big on fast, steep, fairly technical tracks with manageable (i.e. rollable) drops and jumps or chicken runs? Even some nice sweeping banked blues might be nice?

The second question is bike hire. We were thinking 160mm AM bikes with a dropper post. Any recommendations?

I know a lot of you guys head of this way so any tips would be great. Thanks.
