Just got back from a two day trip to Alpe d’Huez with Emily to check out the trails there before our Megavalanche special… What can I say – they are just as good as always – awesome stuff. There’s more snow up the top than last year, so we’re definately on for a pisted start. I put a big rip in my rear tyre, so a proper DH 2 ply tyre is going on before the week.
We also popped over the valley to Les 2 Alps – some real roller coaster riding over there – they’ve got 26 DH runs! We rode as many as we could fit into an afternoon and they’re all great. A real difference to the rocks and roots of Alpe d’huez as they’re pretty much all dirt – and all super fast with minimal breaking bumps. And… dust – there was dust! no mud (worth speaking about at least) – so nice to be able to put the bikes in the van and drive off without washing.
Can’t wait to get back there in a couple of weeks.
