Lofty Descents- the first run
Well, it took a long time- 12 months to be precise, but finally we were able to run our maiden trip of our ‘Lofty Descents’ tour. OK, so that photo isn’t from the first trip- the view was a little bit more cloudy, plus Deb managed a slightly out of focus photo of the group

And finally, a nice day with great weather! Marvin, Lee, Daniel and Greg were back to have a go at developing the skills learnt on the first course. First off it was a chance to have a go at drop-offs, which we started off by practising on the ramp. Then, it was time to have

August 8- Day 1 Skills
Well, it felt like ages since we ran our last skills day. And to be fair, it was! Luckily we managed to remember where most things were stored in the house, and we were just short of a few bikes that I still hadn’t got around to rebuilding in time for the day. We were

Random rantings about riding in Italy!
So, after the Alps, it was time to head off to the madness and beauty of Tuscany and Italy. First stop was away from obvious Mountain biking territory, with a stop to the stunning medieval city of Florence. It’s a crazy, busy and overcrowded place, which had had such problems with traffic that now the

The Alpine Epic FINALE!
OK, I guess all good things must come to an end, and it’s certainly been a busy and full couple of weeks! As I sit here looking out at the rain pouring down outside the chalet, I can’t believe how lucky we have been up until now! Sunday With a few more trails in the
