Big day today. Rode three great loops:
1. Morzinette Trail
2. Chapelle de Jacquicourt trail
3. Back of Nyon to Vallee de la Manche
Each of those rides are enough on their own. All three cover just over 64kms and took me just under 6 hours moving time.
Awesome day then.

Yeah, dropper is working ace. Still needs to be weighted to work occasionally, but generally it's good. It's amazing how often a dropper gets used huh? More than gears.
I've been taking photos, but they're boring shots for the local Tourism Office. Morzine is undergoing a re-branding: More youthful, fun and vibrant. Worst job I've taken. Kinda fun, but kinda lame at the same time. I prefer to head out with my mates and have a blast, then show the photos to clients. Here, I have strict guidelines on what they want the image to look like and it's hard. Boohoo.
Yesterday, however, I headed out with the lads to a fun spot well away from the crazy crowds we get here during late Feb/early March...

Wee canyon gap we found on Friday...
Have I told you recently that I hate you?
looks like yall had a killer winter.
Saturday, I strapped my bike to a backpack and set off to climb two of the regions highest peaks: Pointe de Ressachaux (2173m/7129ft) and Pointe de Nantaux (2170m/7119ft).
I set off in the dark with a head torch at 4:30am to try to reach the first summit for the sunrise:
Here's Nataux (super sick descent):
I was joined by a mate to climb the second peak, Ressachaux:
Great day.

Is Ressachaux the one that had a bike carved into that big grassy face below the summit when I was there a couple of years ago?
No, that's Nantaux...
In that last photo the angle back to Morzine looks about right....
Ah my bad. 
Nantaux is the one just above that old man's head in the last pic...
Ah ok got it, thought I was looking at Morzine from the other end.... Montriond looks bigger than I remember it.
Amazing as always. How long was the down hill?
