Unclerico Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 i will see what happens ... keen to come to the keg ... but dont feel like riding a beginners track! .... I need a challenge ... :P haha haha ill buy you a castle light
patches Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Come stay at Chalet nantegue and the lift pass is half price As for Giba... that is actually pretty decent considering the MTN Toyota PWC Bike park here is R50/day and doesn't offer very much. But yeah... R100/day is a bargain when one considers what they have access to. As for 16th March nige... ...maye you can be sneaky and do a Peach (ie. fly your wife out to Morzine and call it 'Honeymoon')
Guest Omega Man Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) (ie. fly your wife out to Morzine and call it 'Honeymoon') Haha. Good thinking. When I got married i told the wife we could go to Mauritius for a week or Bali for 2 but my boards come with. My plan for next year is for the wife to come for 1 week and then i hit the bikeparks the week after. Edited August 31, 2012 by Omega Man
nigelhicks Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 ...maye you can be sneaky and do a Peach (ie. fly your wife out to Morzine and call it 'Honeymoon') It wouldnt be as sneaky as Peach as my chick would bring her Session 88 with too ..... sure she'd be keen as long as she had all the romantic flowery stuff too in the chalet .... and that costs ....

Bru. It's the Alps. It's one of the most beautiful places you could possibly hope to go to. Plus it only gets dark at 10 so you can ride during the day and do romantic stuff in the evening. Sundowner picnic at the top of an alp? She'll be telling her friends about that for years to come. Don't do one of those cliche indian ocean island things. that **** is just lame. Just throw the idea out there and see what she says.
nigelhicks Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 ya its definately an option ... just need to get her tech skills up a bit .... when do the parks open? Cus we thinking of going overseas in April holidays ...Ya definately not going to do the cliched beach thing ... screw that! ... i dont want anyone seeing my kiff cycling tan

Cus we thinking of going overseas in April holidays ...Ya definately not going to do the cliched beach thing ... screw that! ... i dont want anyone seeing my kiff cycling tan There we go. Dude honestly there's riding for every level and taste. No need to get her skills up. All the trails are graded and well marked so she won't accidentally wander on to air voltage or anything silly like that. You will both have loads of riding to choose from. Just make sure both of you are aware of your limits. Of course the more skilled you are the more stuff there is for you to ride. Les Gets opens early june. the main PDS area opens 28 June 2013. There's LOADS of accomodation options from 15 Euro a day grunge to prime time stuff. You can even do day trips to Geneva. April is way too early. there will still be snow on the ground in places. Bit of advice. don't go with other people. JUST the 2 of you. Otherwise at some point you will get told that you used your honeymoon as an excuse to go riding with your mates. Also. Make it a dedicated thing. week 1 is honeymoon. Week 2 is riding. Don't do it the other way round. You don't want to break yourself before your honeymoon like someone else on this thread......

Guest Omega Man Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 One more thing. Do yourself a favour and price a 2 week trip to Thailand, The Kruger or Bali. France if anything is cheaper.
Guest Omega Man Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Looks like my 2013 trip is sorted. The tax man is giving me some of my money back. Yipee. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

PeterWest Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Can any of you guys recommend accommodation in Morzine. Couple of friends and I are planning to head out there next year. Keen to know where'd be the best place to stay? Thanks!
Guest Omega Man Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Can any of you guys recommend accommodation in Morzine. Couple of friends and I are planning to head out there next year. Keen to know where'd be the best place to stay? Thanks!Bru come with us. We are going mid to late July. We went early this year and it was a bit too early. We stayed at Les voroches. (Les Vomits) and peach etc stayed at Chalet Nantegue. Tom Rood stayed at Rude chalets. I've got all the info you need to make it a sick trip so send me your email address and I'll send it to you. Heads up. The pleney lift IS being replaced at some point in the near future. Pleney is the main lift between Morzine and Les Gets. Dates have not been confirmed and it has also not been confirmed whether it will be down for the 2013 summer or whether the new lift will already be up and running. Lot's of question marks there but the good news is that even if Les Gets is not easily accessible from Morzine there is a cable car (6 riders at a time) and there's also the viking hotel ski lift that they might open to aleviate the stress. There's also rumors of shuttles between the 2 towns. It's only about 4km between the 2 towns. And then there's the whole of the rest of the PDS which is 8 mountains. You'll just have to plan a teeni bit better than normal. Edited September 19, 2012 by Omega Man

Guest Omega Man Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) My wife is an addiction counselor and we were last chatting last night about what makes an addict. This is kind of what I got from the conversation in between watching the Fairclough segment of 3 minute gaps where he's riding Super Morzine. An addict's brain starts releasing dopamine at the mere thought of using their drug.One of the primary hallmarks of an addiction is it's negative effect on relationships and work.Addicts hide elements of their addiction from their loved ones especially the scale and costShe reckoned that their behavior is escalatory in natureAnd anti social.Addicts associate with other addicts primarily because their behavior is acceptable by the group. At the end of the conversation I said so you are saying I'm addicted to Morzine. Her response was "YOU THINK?" Edited September 21, 2012 by Omega Man
