MTB Morzine 2015

This was mine and Phil's 2nd time mountain biking in Morzine, but Howard's first time. We returned to the same Chalet La Musardiere as before, and was happy to see that Carl and Sian were hosts again. Excellent hospitality, and ace food all week.

After a week mountainbiking before in Aviemore with a Harley Davidson festival at the same time, it was strange to be on our next trip in Morzine to also have another Harley festival! Nice bikes, and nice sound, but the noise does get a bit much after a while with several thousand Harleys seemingly just driving around for the purpose of making a noise!

Toto playing live in a free concert in town was the highlight of the week!


Phil's bike, Howard's bike and my bike getting a bit cosy at the top of Rochassons, probably while Howard checked out the Fantasticable death slide across the valley...


Long old ride up to Pointe des Mossettes... (the other end of the chairlift is in Switzerland)


That better not fall off...


After a long old slog uphill, in 35C heat, with no shade, no shelter, and only 1 spring/trough after the lunch stop, we finally made it to Col de Cou...


Mont Blanc...
