We’ve made it to sunny Spain! We’ve spent a week getting here, including 4 days of great riding along the way! I’ve uploaded some pictures to our gallery of the trip so far. Or you can keep reading for the full version of events so far. Continue reading ‘Autumn Trip week 1′
Wow, we’ve been busy! Trying to get lots of stuff sorted before we leave Morzine and head South chasing the sun. We’re not quite done everything we wanted to, but near enough. So today we checked the camping gear, packed up our favourite biking gear, plus lots of food and sorted out our bikes. Tomorrow we’re heading for Provence, then it’s onto the Pyrenees. A short city break in Barcelona then a drive down the coast to the Sierra Nevada before catching the ferry to Morocco. A few days of orientation and riding in Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains before two weeks of tours in the High Atlas, then some sightseeing and the long drive home. Not a bad way to pass a couple of months!
We’ve got all kinds of fancy stuff like car chargers for phones and laptops and even a blackberry so we can stay in contact. So if you want to get in touch just do so as usual. I’m still finding emails on the blackberry a novelty so expect a quick reply!
We’ve just heard from the organisers that next year’s Mega in Alpe d’Huez will be earlier in July, we understand to avoid it clashing with the Tour. In 2008 the dates are 7-13th July.
We’ll be there again, don’t miss out!

Here’s some pics below: Top tube paint wear was due to pads rubbing on a muddy day.
 
 
So the sun was shining here yesterday - what better way to spend my day than riding over at Rochers de Naye. The train runs all year round, so you can get uplifts with out being confined to ski lift opening times.. added to that the riding over there is awesome.
I took along our new GPS toy to see how it works and what it records… the verdict is good - take a look at this screenshot to see how much riding we did. Almost 4,000 meters of descent in a day. Not bad eh 
I’ve also added the routes to our findyourflow route thingamajig
