Once again it was another late start today. We all woke up nice and early but to the sound of it pissing it down outside. After lunch we waterproofed up and headed out to the trails at Lindarets for a bit of wet fun. The main chair lift was above the clouds and it was freezing. The tracks were new to all of us but they were great fun.
Lots of big open berms, some jumps and the odd technical section to spice things up, oh, and a herd of cows trying to knock us off. Had a few wipeouts on some corners. Wet trails on dry weather tyres just doesn't go well. 
Heading down to the end of the track I noticed my back wheel felt all over the place. One of the bolts that holds it in place had loosened and come off so I had to take it proper easy on the road back to Morzine. Gonna try and bodge a quick release skewer on it so I can keep riding.
Weather's meant to brighten up tomorrow. Alex and Matt are thinking about going Swiss side to Morgin. Myself, Pete and Mark might pop over to Chatel. At least then if it's wet we can always head back and ride Lindarets again.
