Omega, I'm still on the e-mail list with Morland for next year right?

This is all I'm thinking about lately!

Hells yeah. Don't you have a few other mates who are also keen?

 

Did you watch those vids I posted? Those are of Zore. Which is just one side of Morzine. there's the whole of Les Gets, Pleney on the other side of Morzine, Lindarets, Chatel, Morgins, Crosets and of course Champery.

 

There's so much riding there it's beyond ridiculous. I never rode Lindarets or Crosets at all this year. just cos there's so much other riding.

So on Saturday Myself and 3 mates did some runs at Paarl. We Strava'd the thing just so compare

 

We did 9 runs each.

 

We did 1930m Vertical. That's Up and Down. And did 40km including shuttling. That's a pretty good return on Investment for DH by SA standards. Compare that tho to the Average day in France where you'll be doing 70km and 7-9km of vert.

 

And on one day I did 102km and over 13km of vertical.

Im trying to convince my other mates to make the trip.

 

Seen the videos that you posted, and many more hahaha.

Excited is an understatement!

Haha. Nice one. The best thing is the video's don't even remotely do it justice. I'm amped and it's 11 months away.

Really awesome pics, looks like a truckload of fun!

 

I was considering going with next year but now have other plans, so someone else can have my bike:

If it's the epic I'm going to come over you your house and kick you in the nuts.

Sheesh, no way!

 

I'm going to be doing a wine-touring, food-appreciating trip with my GF which will include:

  • Malta
  • Italy
  • Leogang round of the WC

The wine-touring, food-appreciating portion cancels out the bike... :lol:
