Pete slipped a pedal yesterday and did a pretty good job of messing his shin up so he had a day off today. The rest of us went over to ride at the Chatel Bike Park. Before we even made it to the main trails Alex sent it off the road gap, making it look so easy. There's a huge jump in the difficulty of the tracks over at Chatel. They're either pretty easy and flowy or steep and proper technical, but still fun to ride. Alex and Matt spent the day trying to ride every track going. Me and Mark joined them for a few but also spent some time in the drop zone.
On the way back to Morzine we stopped off in Linderates for a quick ride of 'Zeus Juice'. The track had completely dried out and was so fast, but was a little bit beaten up. Still fun though. Then it was just a case of getting on the road and coasting it back to Morzine. Simple. Except I took a corner too quick and skidded out. Pretty scary actually! Thought I was going to get run over by a car. My knee's a little sore but it should be fine by tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow the weather's meant to be cloudy but still dry.
Sounds like a good time was had by all.. Next time you are out give me a call and I'll show you some cool routes back to morzine without the tarmac, or even better give Chatel a try next time, there really is more to it than the bike park, fun as it is, we have some amazing little known back country trails, not for the faint hearted.!

Thanks for the comment. Spoke to someone in Morzine who was doing a season and they recommended your company so if I've got a bike by next year I'll give you a shout
