Well the first week has sold out - so what could we do but add another week for you to pay the African continent a visit. The new date is November 10th -> 17th. You had better be quick if you want to come join us!
A dirtgirls week has come round once again. Sunday saw us riding in glorious sunshine, but the rain came down over night and we’ve been getting wet for the past two days! Yesterday was a great ride despite being a little wet and chilly. However, this afternoon I had more fun than I have in a long time. After a long morning ride, most of the girls opted for a mechanics session with Emily, while Lynne and Pamela were keen for more riding so we headed off to Les Gets. After a while of dry (well no rain) riding the heavens opened and we slid around as we got a soaking. There’s nothing better than riding in rain and mud with people who just laugh as they slide 
Happy days.
We decided it was time to venture out of Morzine for the day and took Greg and Emily somewhere they’d not been before: Annecy. Well Greg thinks he may have been there before but can’t really remember So on Wednesday we loaded a picnic into the bus along with suncream and swimming gear and headed off. The gardens by the lake were the perfect picnic spot and after lunch we searched around for the pointiest boat (apparently that means fast) we could find that they’d let us hire, sans boating licence. A fantastic boat was finally settled on that even had a cover for some shade. I got the job of getting us out of the harbour, round the many pedalos and canoes, but eventually we were safely through and speeding along the open water. We all took turns at driving the boat and getting some good air off the waves created by big boats, and swam in the middle of the lake.
Next up was a wander through the old town, coffee, beers, shopping and finally dinner in the restaurant with the best looking chairs. On the way home we checked out the skate park so Emily could decide whether it’s worth a return trip with her BMX - apparently it is.
Pretty good day all round.
With the end of the summer season here in Morzine in sight (boo!) it is with great regret to say that our lovely hire bikes are up for sale - they’ll be available from September 1st.
All bikes will come with fresh tires, cables, brake fluid, brake pads, a full service and a one year frame warrentee. The service will include replacing any worn / loose wheel/pivot bearings. All bikes will be running as new with some minor paint damage / scuffs and the odd chip. They’re all less than 3 months old as well.
We have:
Give me an email if you’d like to know more pics & prices to follow - prices will be around 50-60% of the retail depending on condition - a bargain!

I’ve had to rebuild my prince albert (ooh er) because the Blur 4X is out of action at the moment… what fun it is indeed. The Pleney DH course is a little bumpy I’ll admit, but it’s handled everything else with no trouble at all.
And to top it off - this week we’ve got a Cove Hummer, a Chromag Samurai and Cotic Soul in the shed.. who needs all that faff of full suspension eh!?

Last Friday I took a rather stupid tumble crossing over a little wooden bridge in Chatel bike park. The bridge was only about a foot off the ground and about two foot wide, it was wet and it did not have chicken wire on it. I really shouldn’t have fallen off but I did. The reason I fell off was because I used my front brake on some wet wood. A tiny error really, one of those things that you learn right after you take your stabilisers off your first bike.
I’ll spare the details of exactly what happened but the result was that I fractured a little bone in my left thumb, just under the first knuckle. The result of this tiny little fracture is that my hand is now in a cast. The doctor says it is in a cast so I do not get tempted to move my thumb and ride my bike (he obviously knows me very well).
So here I am, sat on my computer instead of riding my bike. This is what I have learned:
Expect a few more posts from me now I am not riding as often as I’d like!

PS. High five.
I have to admit that the pink bike’s been a bit neglected since my Blur LT turned up. It’s barely been ridden, but this weekend I had a few friends staying and lent one of them my bike and dug it out. I haven’t had so much fun in ages and want to be out on it again soon to really test it. It was also great seeing non-biking mates getting on so well - Eleri, Sarah and Morag were pretty awesome and are all now true bikers with the scars to prove it
