Hello

I'm off the ride the Megavalanche in a few weeks time and have just realised that as our group is all blokes (apart from me!) I am going to be a billy-no-mates at the top :oops:

It woudl be great to see a friendly face up there and may help calm my already frazzled nerves...

Helloooo

Had a great week, but did all the practice runs but bailed on the race itself! I knew it would be a huge challenge but in the end it was too much whilst being chased down by the guys behind (as I would have been!). I'm glad I went and tried the course as otherwise I would always have wondered if I COULD have done it, but having done so I can honestly say that I have no desire to ride down Alpine black DH runs with angry French men behind me ever again :shock:

My MTBing ego has rather taken a battering though - i'll probably be entering endless xc races now to redeem myself to the MTBing gods.... :?

Cheers for the link Nick

Hey congrats for taking it on! That takes major balls- I rode part the track whilst out there on a press camp and man there's some real techy sections. It's hard enough picking a line out when there's 3/4 of you riding, can't imagine what it must be like with hundreds of people around you!

There's no need to feel like you need to redeem yourself - you had the courage to go out there and try it - i'm still trying to build up to it, next year maybe... (although i've been saying that for the last few years!) ;-)
