Settling in

So I arrived a few days ago in Morzine (totally blanked Guy at the airport!). Its been pretty much build bikes, ride bikes, tinker with bikes, eat and sleep for me for me since Wednesday.

Guy and Sara have been showing me around some great trails I’ve never ridden before. And it has rained. A lot. But to be fair, that’s only made it better for me, it is great fun in the rain! We’ve taken Jules from Cycle Wild Scotland out with us to show him around a bit too, and he seems to be enjoying it, announcing every trail is “World Class” every time we stop… He’s not wrong.

Yesterday Guy and I treated ourselves to a couple of runs down ‘Le Pleney’ on the new Bullit hire bikes, they ride like a dream. Christmas comes early, like Sara, for us two as well; We get our new Royal Racing and 661 gear today if the postman comes (fingers crossed!).
I’m really looking forward to meeting and riding with the first guests and spending my whole summer in (possibly) the best biking destination in the world.

TCL skills week

Well we’ve been a bit quiet as it’s been a busy week…but a great one too! Loads of riding was done, and it’s great to be back on our favourite trails and searching out more. The TCL training went well (more on that plus photos soon) and I was able to tag along and learn loads (again!) from Jules. His coaching is pretty amazing and it’s great to see everyone improving skills and learning new tricks. We had some wet and muddy rides this week, but then they’re always the ones you remember…and the cake tastes even better at the end!
A few days of sun and it’s all drying up nicely. Let’s hope it stays this way.
