Riding here at this time of year is very different from the summer season when the lifts are open - anyone that’s tried it will know there are some very long uphill slogs! So late yesterday afternoon I set off up the road towards Avoriaz on my pink bike. I’ve never been a massive fan of long climbs but yesterday was great. I found a rhythm and felt good. The views were amazing - the different shades of green in the trees and grass, the craggy mountain tops still covered in snow and the flowers springing up all around. It only got better as I cut off the road onto the path winding through the trees and eventually the long descent back down. The rocky rooty descent put a stress on my arms and hands (much tougher on a hardtail than a heckler!) but a smile on my face and I got back down to Morzine wishing I had time to do it all again.
Bring on the summer…..
