Le Tour de France 2010 comes past our door

With the scorching weather we’ve been having over here the riders can’t have been looking forward to climbing the Col de Ramaz before dropping into Morzine past our front door and then having to climb up to Avoriaz!

With the lifts over in Les Gets and Morzine shut it means all the trails are really quiet, so I can stand at the top of the Gap jump at the top of the Nauchetts lift for as long as I want before deciding if it’s too big or not! Even with the Morzine lifts shut there is a huge amount of riding still to be had with the Champery cable car open until the middle of October!!

Pass Portes Du Soliel Show

Morzine hosted the Pass Portes du Soliel show this year with a whole host of tents and stands from all the big names in the biking industry, we saw a fair few vans from the big teams around Morzine and St Jean D’Aulps during the week as well.

It looked like a really well attended event, a bit too well attended at one point with the Super Morzine queue stretching out for about an hour!

stands

Saw some impressive bikes including our next door neighbours handicapped downhill quad buggy which along the lines of bike, trike, should I think be renamed a quike.

yikes, trikes, quike?
