Mmmmm, new bikes

Well I’ve just had the arduous task of speccing out our hire bikes.

What bikes, how many, what colour, do I go for Juicy 5s? X9 or X7? Rockshox or Marzocchi? Pimpy white components, or straight laced black.It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.

So far we can say that we’ll be having some more Hecklers and VP-Frees Then there’s the tough question of what bike I’ll be riding… Stick with my trusty 4X, or get something bigger, better (if you can better a 4X), newer and shinier…

Well that’s enough rambling. I’ve got some lovely new skis to try out this afternoon.

Mmmmm, skis…

Col du Cou hike

We tested out our new Snowshoes the other day. And great they are too. Helps you get up and away from the crowded pistes and if you carry your board with you then you don’t have that tedious walk back down. All in all a great way to spend the morning.

I’m wondering if I can get a refund on my lift pass now :)
