hayleyearth Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 finally someone with a broader vision for exciting riding venues Yeah, Morzine was great compared to what we have, but will I go back in the next couple of years? Probably not. There are just SO many other places to visit and to be honest, I guess I am more about the 'exploring new trails' than riding 'braking bumps in a bike park' type of rider. (Maybe I went in a bad year.) Also there are just so many other bike parks in the world. One colleague of mine told me that he goes to Livigno, Italy each year to ski. I went to look at the riding there....yum yum... www.mottolino.com/en There is just SO many places to go, unfortunatly I do not think I have enough years left in my life to experience all the places I still want to go.
