Morzine day twelve: Mechanicals on Mont Chery

We all got woken up at 5 this morning by a huge bolt of thunder so none of us were in the mood for an early start. By the time we got up the weather wasn't that bad but no-one was in a rush to ride. 

After lunch we went over to Les Gets. Me and Pete rode the main track on Mont Cery while the others rode some of the lesser known tracks. On my second run I heard a nasty crack near the end of the trail. 

I washed my bike and checked all the welds but it looked fine. I had a bit of a play around and saw that the shock mount bolt had snapped in half so that was the end of my day. After a bbq at the Sherpa bar I fitted a new bolt while Allen replaced a spoke for me and Dave had a go at fixing my  rear brake and Pete stripped and cleaned my BB. 

It's meant to be nice and sunny tomorrow so gonna try and get as much riding in as possible. Hopefully I'll get to ride Mont Chery again. Love the main track and apparently this is the last year it's going to be open.
