Posterous | Re: singletrack week off to a good start - all smiles and no injuries :) Got the new Ragley blue pig out today - pretty good so far :)

Tried out the Stab Supreme (Matt's nemesis) and Chipp's Blood today - love the blood, but the stab is a bit of a tank!!

Girls MTB skills session in Morzine

As opart of their recent trip with flowmtb Fionn Griffiths and Joanna Peterson ran a dirtgirls special skills day. The highlight was definitely us all learning to jump and everyone making it up and off the ramp with no tumbles.

Photographer Tom Humpage was along to take some pics:

Ben, a guest from last week, obviously likes flowmtb and wants to promote us…either that or he chose a bad moment to fall asleep :)
Thanks for the photo Jon!

Mega randoms

All taken with the camera phone - hence the crappy quality!

Highlights include the blury bar shot where were roped into a VERY odd thumb waving sing along. Proof that I took the prince albert up to the Glacier for a practice run of the Mega Course on a hard tail (arm pump anyone?).  Then the final setup for my Mega race bike - the Nomad plus joplin uppy downy seatpin, larson TT rear tyre for speed if not grip. And Sara rocking the dh youth look on the final day - tee shirt, full face, no bag etc - perhaps a little un-practical!

And then there's the hotel that thinks it's christmas all year long!

Until next year….

Cider and pancakes

There's nothing like the crepes at the Attray Crepery to finish a good day in the saddle! And the Cider there is great - makes for an interesting final descent back to Morzine!
