patches Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Bike is in the process of being rebuilt, new bearings in and new bars are on their way. downloaded a cool app for my BB32 days 15hrs 4min and 30sec WoooHooooo I was looking at cool android apps for the alps. one of them allows you to point your phone camera at any peak, and it identifies it and tell you how far away it is. Might be useful on our little adventure!

Although... did you shave your beard for the passport photos? Cos if you didn't that might work against you But on a serious note... did you guys do your visa submission though Capago? If so, you should hear back in the next day or 2. Those guys are on the ball!

Those guys are on the ball! The visa thing takes quick. On the trail front. you NEED to go to Morgins. It's well worth the ball ache to get there. 5 trails with loads of alternate lines. The trails are more difficult than their color grading would suggest tho if you compare it to the other parks in the PDS. So much so that my mate Tom commented "these people are colorblind".
Guest Omega Man Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Some things I learned this year. The 2 best places to go in the rain are Chatel and Nauchettes.Pleney seems to handle the rain ok too.

Peach and I were discussing tyre choice yesterday. What are you running? What would you recommend? (Peach is leaning towards High Rollers. I only have minnion DHFs in new condition. May have to buy something else)

There are trails that never dry out.
