The first 2 pics are on the Les Gets main line (Chavannes), the last pic is from the start of Pleney looking at the lifts

 

Here's a pic from the Nauchettes lifts.

They are MOUNTAINS.

You have no idea! Haha

 

They say the steepest gradient on the PMB track is the same as the average gradient of these tracks.

 

We did Mont Cheri black run today... Don't think I've ever been anything that steep in my life before

Haha, i actually have been looking out for them. Even the locals pull a faces when you mention 29ers.

 

There's also bike shops on every other corner. Hardly any bikes for sale with less than 160mm travel. These shops are like the total opposite of SA shops. 5.10s, full faces, wide bars, body armour and things along those lines are all available in abundance. I love it.

 

As for the XCO... I've got some of the best riding in the world here, it only gets dark 9pm... So no... Not doing much tele watching
