Mid July. Could easily incorporate it into a nice little Morzine trip. Just saying. In fact many guys do. The beauty of it is everyone gets to race. Even if you don't "qualify" There's a qualifying heat of about 14km and the main race is 32km (I Think) long.

 

The Mega should be on everybody's to do list.

Its one of those french fun rides they call avalanches - our equivalent would be the Argus MTB race :D

Hahahahaha. Ja. Exactly the same apart from a few minor differences.

DaveMD (one of the quieter hubbers) has just completed the Reunion Megavalanche.

 

He's a fast and very capable local downhill racer, and even he said that the technicality of the Megavalanche trail was insane!

 

Nadia ad Shane Botha were there too representing SA. Nadia came 5th in her class.

Damn you Patches, you beat me to it!!

 

Dave wound up 50th in the 'Challenge' event and Shane 128th.

Nadia did awesome to finish on the podium. :thumbup:

 

And all of them did well not to get injured by the sounds of things.
