Mountain Bike Rides

Its all been pretty hectic since the last report and its now the beginning of the last day! The good news is that the weather has turned. The bad news is so has Simon's ankle; he broke it on Wednesday! He did it while walking a steep section on Mont Chery and it was a bit of an event getting him off the mountain!

I'll update with more news and photos etc as soon as I have time...

We're currently back in Morzine for a week of gravity assisted fun. Everyone made it down ok on Friday & Saturday. As usual a large quantity of beer was consumed on the evening of our arrival. So after sorting the bikes with sore heads on Saturday morning we headed over to Les Gets to get our eye in.

Back in 2001 Choc and his wife Rachael had an epic adventure riding a Cyclo the length of Vietnam from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the south: a distance of 1728 km!

On his return to the UK Choc wrote the story of this journey but then never published it. That story is now here in its entirety.

Just over the water from Skye we headed up a slow road to ride in the epic mountains around Torridon. After having good weather all week it was about time we got soaked. Andy got excited about having a true epic and it looked like we might.
