French & Swiss Alps 2012

[Guest Omega Man]

Omega, do you know anything about the "Chalet le Nantegue" Accommodation?

Looks like it's quite far out. Is it cheap?

 

BTW. There's a place called La Sherpa. It's on the main road. The road with the Ed in it but moving out of town. about 300m from Ed. They do a barbeque on a Wednesday night. Take your own meat. They provide salads and stuff. You just buy drinks there. Pretty festive. Just confirm it is happening with the bike mech at the GT shop. I think his name is Pedro.

looks pretty good.

200 pounds per week inc breakfast and supper.

 

getting more info from them now.

they say they also do a weekly bri, its like 500m from Les Voroches, have bikes so im not too worried.

That is almost directly opposite La Sherpa where the Wednesday Baarbi's are held. It's only about 200m further than Les Voroche. (Chunder Alley)

So Omega.. do you think Peach and I should switch from Les Voroches to Chalet le Nantegue?

 

For our particular trip it'll work out to 430 pounds pp for 15 nights with those 2 meals included, plus the 50% discount on the 13day lift pass.

I would have stayed there if I had known about it. The lift pass alone makes it a bargain. Dude we are already making plans for Chalet le Nantegue for next year. hahaha. That is so frikkin cheap. You won't have to cook and wash dishes and the money you save on the lift pass buys you a kit. The only reason we did Les Voroches again this year was cos it was easy and the catered options we found were ridiculously expensive.

 

Just don't buy the very un pc Old South African flag TLD one my mate bought. Every time we were on the lift and saw him ride past we'd start singing die stem. Kaaak funny.

28 days 17hr 56min :clap: :clap:

 

asked a few questions, will get a reply tomo but im thinking we might switch.

[patches]

aaah man! I'm getting soooooo amped!

 

I have just spent the last 20min studying the Boxxer WC tuning guide.

 

Omega... which setting do you think best describes most of the riding there?

 

 

I'm thinking bottom centre, but I can only judge from pics of the trails

Jees don't ask me that stuff. All I did was speed up my rebound by 1 or 2 clicks. The tracks are fast and very rough so you "float" over the bumps if you speed up the rebound a bit.

Oh you might think about putting in a few psi of extra pressure to make the fork a bit harder.
