:eek:

Should make a nice change from the usual trip to Les Gets / Verbier, probably stay on the following week and explore serre chevalier.

Here is a clip from verbier last year.

YouTube - Verbier headcam footage - top to bottom

YouTube - Mégavalanche 2007 Start!!!

First person view of the rider totally t-boning some fallen rider about 1-2 mins in.

Very tempted but I've got a race the following week and that looks a little beyond my comfort zone ;)

Besides, I think the management would have words if I sodded off to France for a week without her! :D

Would love to...

But the MC10 aint turned a wheel for over 12 months. This is due to change in the very near future, but I doubt my fitness and bravery levels would be up to the Alps any time this year.

I will be doing Coed-y-Brenin a couple of times though :)

Roll on 2009 :D

Your all f'ing bonkers!!!! :D

Looks like the dog's danglies, but since I sometimes manage to crash and burn on my local hills I'm pretty sure my skill level wouldn't match that kind of stuff !

The race itself is *on* my other halfs birthday :eek:

Excellent! Red Card! :D;)

No, really, I'm swanning off for 4 days and nights running and biking around Stirling in June so I'm about as likely to get a pass for this as Gordon Brown is to remove fuel duty! :)

Re the video.
Being mad enough to do the race in the first place...Full marks!

But to then decide to do it dressed as a cow........:freak3: :cuckoo:

you ought to ask dci gene hunt, I believe he openly likes to meet other users from this site, he tends to peddle endless cack so one must presume he would be happy peddling in endless cack ;)

email him, (oh you cant he dosent like to share that information)

:)

Only just noticed that :eek::eek::lol:

What bikes and travel did you run in that headcam footage?

...and did any of you use spd's :)

ha ha I skiied that last week was probably as much carnage on that run then as well! Would really like to give that a go but unfortunately I don't think my skill levels are up to it!
