Haha!!! Sure if we'd entered,my bike & me would have made it to the end - but just not together !!!!
It was mad ! Amazing to watch.
Wonder if the guy giving the piggy-back made it to the finish line ? ?

Looks quality, i really fancy doing the mega next year

Are you doing some riding out there Cherokee?

Ah, the top of the Jandry! Brings back memories. Got to be the best alpine views ever on that spot!!

[cherokee]

Yes, top of the Jandri ! ! Like being on top of the world up there - it was 26 degrees in 2alpes and 1 degree up there but perfect sunshine, think summer boarding's the way to go - specially if you're as nesh as me!
We went up to go boarding, didnt realise it was the Race day so we waited & watched them all start off.
Yes, we did loads of biking - all downhilling tho - no pedalling at all , so gonna seriously suffer on the forum ride , too many croissants & french wine - that's my excuse
will try & put some of our biking pics up later.
