Day 1 - fri 27th
Well Morzine is great today, about 25 degress, good sunshin. Apprently raining previous week but we are about to go for a ride.
There are not many riders here atm, which is good for getting onto chairlifts, but night life might not be so amazing.
Everything is working and the tracks look great

Day 2 - sat 28th
Awesome day today, started with run on Pleney with its new jumps and switchbacks which is awesome. Moved to Les Gets with fantastic weather where we met ryan and cubbage. Spent rest of day on Les Gets 1 and Pleney. Yummy :D

Day 3 - sun 29th
Today we had all 8 of us riding togther. The day was mainly spent on Les Get 1 and after, we headed over to The Kona Bike Park where we spent some time playing on the jumps and having some bails that landed danerously close to the edge of the mountain! We then took Les Gets 2 back down Mont Cherry and finished the day with some more Les Gets 1 followed by an evening drinking and playing pool at the bar.

Day 4 - mon 30th
For some of us, today was a lazy day and only a couple of runs were made. However Ryan managed to snap his rig at the bb and is hiring an M3 for the rest of the week and Oly and Max managed to crash into a slow moving XC'er and have damaged their wheels. Ooops

Day 5 - tues 31th
Dave and Bulla went to chatel today and Ryan, Cubbage, Max and Oly went on a trip to Italy to ride the local scene. Steve, Barrels, Tom Orrells and Mini Orrells spent the day riding Pleney, Les Gets 1 + 2 and the awesome Gully run.

Day 6 - weds 1st
Cubbages bike needed its brakes bleeding and after hold ups at the bike shop for Ryans hired bikes, leaving for Chatel was later than expected. So for the day we went to Avoriaz and rode the blue run a couple of times and got tired early and headed down the road back down super morzine which was very fast and refreshing :D

Day 7 - thurs 2nd
Unfortunatly, at about 6am this morning, the weather decided it was very pissed off and it has been raining all day with ample thunder meaning all chair lifts were shut and no riding was done. Max and Oly left today to get their flight home at 10pm.

Day 8 - fri 3rd
Today we all rode Les Gets 1 plenty of times after the thunderstorms on thursday making the courses fairly muddy and full of puddles but a right laugh slipping about. Towards the end of the day, Bulla bailed and bust the internals of his forks and Steves BB started making some worrying sounds so we headed back to Morzine, followed by a couple of runs of Le Pleney for Dave, Steve n Barrels. That evening the everyone was at the bar and the night club getting pissed and drinking the night away!

Day 9 - sat 4th
Starts up to a really sunny day today, Dave and Bulla had to leave at 7am this morning and Steve and Barrels are leaving later in the afternoon after going to do some Parapente which was missed out on on thursday. Ryan and Cubbage have the day riding and are leaving sunday evening.
