Mega Avalanche or a week spent riding sweet sweet singletrack in the Alps?

    If you go for the week riding the Alps, you can spend as much time as you like on the DH runs so you get a trial of both? Though having done the Alps once, I'd say I'd go for the Mega as my second holiday if that was the choice.

    Only because I want to see lots of friendly faces up there, rather than snarling armoured-up nutters that want to knock me off my bike!! :wink::lol:

    I'd like to do the Mega- maybe combine it with Mountain of Hell, they're just a week apart? But, it does seem like it'll eat your holiday. Especially if you don't do well! So it's up to you whether it's worth that and where your priorities are.

    I'd say, do the week of sweet alpine singletrack, and if you want to do a daft race come up to Fort William in August and do the no fuss endurance dh ;)
