Thats what you get for making your bikes so light. They are easier to stealAfter 4 trips to Morzine in a row, we've decided to go further to AdH and L2A
Have fun, watch your bikes (I lost mine last year ), go to Champery and Morgins, check Ben's tracks
Forecast looks good from Wednesdayi just got here, along with 13 other rider from university of bristol bike club. first time in the alps for me, i am on a red banshee legend, the colour scheme that looks like a pack of mccoys ready salted crisps.
really hope the weather clears up soon.
Hey Damo, there is an article in Velo Vert this month about a trip I did like that around here. Started in Champery then to Super Chatel traversed to Lac de Tanney then to Rochers du Naye by way of the Ferry in Le Bouveret. Pretty sick 2 day trip with some epic singletrack. We even helped birth a calf along the way.I've been living in Morzine for 9 years now. If you see me on the trails, stop me and say hi.
'10 Yeti 303.
I'll be traveling further afield this summer with a few multi night mtb trips in Austria and Italy. Leaving the chairlifts behind for a change, pedaling my way around high alpine trails staying in huts along the way. Keep tuned for write-ups...
Go check out the shop under the tram in Champery. We just set up a swap out system for 40 carts. They have 5 in stock and can get you back up and running very fast.just about been out for a week now, already i have killed the bearings on my front hub and snapped my 40 cart.
besides that its been amazing. hopefully able to fix my 40 soon so i can head over to the proper hills over super morzine. by any chance does anyone know where the fox van might be at? drove to chatel this morning and they weren't there for the passportes event.
Hey Adam,cheers for the info ben, got it sorted today. i think you met my mates chris and katie. gutted i didn't walk the track coz it sounds like i missed some sick riding.
they did unfortunately give me an 09 cart which is 15mm shorter than the pre 09 ones. no biggie as i just lowered my damper side stanchion so it wont top out on the cart. was going to retire the fork soon anyways since its an 05 one, will just keep the damper as a spare.
Adam.
Geez Ben you and your bro never reply to emails!! Took the kids to Morgins, dude, you have done some great work. Tahnée was sorting pix with Victor Lucas up there - great shots!Hey Adam,
No problem. Glad you got it worked out.
Have you ridden Morgins yet? I definitely think you should check it out if you haven't yet.
I know my bro doesn't answer his emails very well but I don't remember ever getting one from you. Sorry if I didn't respond.Geez Ben you and your bro never reply to emails!! Took the kids to Morgins, dude, you have done some great work. Tahnée was sorting pix with Victor Lucas up there - great shots!
Thanks man. I am glad you liked it. It will get better and better every year.Ben,
I just spent a fortnight riding with Adam in the Alps and just want to give a shout-out saying thanks for the work you guys have put in over there. Morgins is riding amazing, the Chatel slopestyle looks great and Champery is a class act. Wish I could be there for the WC! Best of luck with the rest of the season, we'll be back next year...
I think you need to send it a bit more next timeThanks man. I am glad you liked it. It will get better and better every year.
Here is a photo my brother Will Walker took of me on the first straight of the Champery track.
Surprisingly enough it is still rolling. Yeah, I took a minute to figure out the speed on that one. You left when I quit panic braking and finally sent it.Nice shot, you and Steve were ripping that section. Hows that rear wheel holding?
