This morning was a busy one for the flowmtb team. Hero Phil (as he has become known this week!) had a busy morning of bike fixing as problems and worn brake pads had beed discovered yesterday; Jess was non stop baking cake and cooking breakfast for everyone; while I set up my sandwich production line in a corner of her kitchen. With bikes perfectly tuned and backpacks stuffed with water, sandwiches and Mule Bars we headed out for the day.
The Super Morzine lifties were very happy to see so many girls heading into the hills! After a warm up ride to lindarets Jo had us practicing skids. The aim is so we’d all feel happier when our wheels slid unintentionally and we were all pretty chuffed with our efforts. next u[p was the amazing panoramic route with stunning views of lac Montriond and surrounding mountains. Then we had some berm skills sessions and plenty of practice. After lunch on a peaceful hill side we rode long and hard all afternoon (as well as an ice cream stop on col de bassachaux) before stopping for beers and meeting up with the other dirtgirls group in Chez Roger.
Perfect end to a great day.
