banna Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I call dibs on you or Karl for teammates...I'll try and keep up on the down, and wait up on the climbs Oh mega, I gather from this you didn't attend the spinning classes as you were supposed to...
Guest Omega Man Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Oh mega, I gather from this you didn't attend the spinning classes as you were supposed to...I have a spin bike at home. But no. I didn't use it much at all. It's chills tho. I figure I only have to be fitter that the most unfit dude in the group. And there's a guy coming with who's MUCH less fit than me. Besides. I've already planned my route bro. There's only 1 very short climb in it. The rest is flat or down or ski lifts. Hit the dropper lever and get into the 42 for that climb and then we're all done. Whoever does the race with me is going to be begging for mercy. Cos 13 runs on Alpine tracks in a day is EINA and he's gonna have to drink a lot of wet cement the night before cos I plan to win. That day will be a 90+km day with about 8km of vert. Edited July 9, 2014 by Omega Man nonky 1

Guest Omega Man Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Haha! You go bud. Tell the boys to take some Disprins along. Works wonders along with a few frosties.I'm stocking up on panamor's. When I cracked my ribs a few months ago they were the only things that would allow me to sleep through the night. I'm quite keen to see how the tracer does over there. I've fitted my V2's and big rotors. Had the front & rear suspenders serviced. Gonna have to slow it down and try get styly on the jumps rather than trying to go fast this year I reckon. Also gonna try do some XC if I can tear myself away from the ski lifts and ALLLLLL of the free vert. nonky 1

I think the Tracer should be quite fun over there. Good thing you've got some saddle time now to get the best out of the oukie.

Good thing you've got some saddle time now to get the best out of the oukie. I don't think you get jeep track over there. I believe this is what they call XC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Urs_sL4fTg

beanz Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I know dude, this thread is 97 pages long after all... No worries then, no offence intended. The col de cou traverse is on my to do list. Apparently there is a 400m jeep track climb (from the nearest lift) to get to the start.

Now just to tell the missus that....o wait, we just bought her a Tracer 6 months ago... no excuses then! beanz 1

If you can tear yourself away from riding Zore you turn right. roll along the ridge. Drop into Lindarets. across to the Mosettes France lift. Catch that up to 2700m. 50m of Jeeptrack. Drop into Crosets. That's about a 45 minute descent into Crosets. Proper Alpine riding. Catch the Crosets lift up. The Dens du Midi will be in front of you. Turn right.

Now just to tell the missus that....o wait, we just bought her a Tracer 6 months ago... no excuses then!Bring her with dude. JEES! Do I have to do all the thinking around here? I'll hook you up with a double room in the Chalet so you can get your freak on after a day of riding, dinner in the Alps and an hour in the Jacuzzi. I'm not sure how much more marketing I have to do here. Edited July 10, 2014 by Omega Man
Guest Omega Man Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Speaking of Intense. Karl bought his 3rd one. The tracer on the left. BSG 1

Guest Omega Man Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I'm sorry to say this guys but it's all a massive hoax. It's OK at very best over there. If I'm being honest Tokai is way better than Morgins and Jonkers is probably 5 times better than Chatel. I'm not sure why I actually bother. Take a look at the video. The wet stuff is Morgins and the dry stuff is Chatel. It's actually pretty sucky. And I'm told the best singletrack in the world is in the Unkomaas valley. Sorry for any inconvenience. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/370434/
banna Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Speaking of Intense. Karl bought his 3rd one. The tracer on the left. Can't get enough of a good thing hey? JP had that exact color Tracer before he got the Carbine. My one needs a make over soon. Was actually thinking of blue, but maybe more of a baby blue like the new Nomad. Will be heading to Bogus soon.
