Chapaking, take the Reign, you don’t want to be lugging a DH bike around the PPDS IMHO, and the reign is perfectly adequate for most of the DH around there unless you are planning to do airtime bigtime.
Myself & a mate are both starting from Morzine on Saturday. Unluckily our friend is staying with us in Morzine, but has an Avoiraz start. Anyone know how long it wll take him to get up there before the kick-off?
Our start was supposed to be Avoriaz, but we were staying in Morzine, we managed to blag our way onto the lifts from Morzine.
I rode a Giant Trance just beefed it up a little (alot of fun on Le Plenney, Lets gets 1 & 2), I had a full face, elbow and Knee/shin armour, I only used 2.25″ tyres but with downhill tubes.
The larger the group, the more mechanicals, the less time you have to complete the route and you’ve got to make time for the stunning scenery (especially Switzerland).
Don’t try and run anyone over on the downhills like one of my gang did. Fortunately he ran over another one of my gang who had a comedy crash on the trail a few seconds earlier.
I wish I was doing it this year… 😥
