I usually spend a couple of months in Europe on holiday and rent a bike to use a few days. I am thinking of taking my bike with me this time as I would like to cycle a bit more. What are the costs on average of taking your bike across to France or Germany?

Depends who you fly with.  Some airlines classify bikes as 'free sporting equipment' so you don't pay anything.  Others will charge you as a piece of luggage.  Check with your preferred airline or make your call based on who offers free sporting equipment.

I know that SAA and British Airways both offer free sporting equipment and I've transported bikes and paragliders with them with no issues.

Nice! This is a great production with some seriously stylish riding. And a nice chilled bunch of blokes as well. Really showcases the trails there, with instantly recognisable segments from all the main areas like Chatel, Zore, Morgins, Pleney and Les Gets. Seeing it takes me right back, and makes me want to go back.

Yes I am seriously struggling to make peace with the fact that I'm not going this year, especially with the World Cup vids coming in and you realising how awesome it felt to be in a town that's focussed on bikes for a whole season. 

 

I feel like a soldier that's just been informed his tour of duty's been extended and he won't be going home just yet (ok that's maybe a bit dramatic, but you get the point).

So wazzup, book my room, OMM....lets get it on!

[Nofearnofun]

Super keen!

Bumping it up a notch....!

[Whatsup!]

I had my lap top re - appropriated the other day and lost a lot of my photos.

I am specifically bummed about my photos from Morzine in 2013. Had to copy the few I posted here to try get something back!

I am sure that having to go and retake some pics is a good enough excuse to go back soon !

 

Super jealous of everyone going this year.

And? How was it?

Totally mental! The bikeparky stuff was cool but not my cuppa, then we got stuck into some Morgins tight, steep, tech and I was in heaven!

 

We also did a sick outride on the second to last day up to a ridge line in switzerland where ski lifts don't go. We must have climbed for an hour and a half to get up there. The ridge line was easy trail with mad sheer drops on both sides! Once we started descending off the ridge line we got into rough natural rooty rocky trail which is the best trail I've ever seen or ridden! 30 minutes of natural tech descending towards Champery.
