Bonjour
I have been away for a week in the amazing Le Sainte Foy area of the French Alps. The riding was just amazing - rooty, steep, rocky, smooth, dusty, gloopy - we had everything.
The POC body armour I took was 'tested' on more than one occasion - top marks to it's functionality and performance. My Zesty is now due a full rebuild, trashed mech hanger, smashed up cable outers and a wobbly front wheel is the extent of the damage. The bike was perfect for the riding we did, a bit of fast singletrack, DH runs, exposed alpine cliff paths etc - it handled it all.
Our group went to visit the alps with The White Room - you should check them out on http://www.whiteroomchalet.com/ and go visit. Steve and Iona are 2 of the most pleasant hosts you could wish for and will make sure you ride all the best trails in the area. Tell them we sent you!
Anyways... back to work!
Special Summer Promotion
We have teamed up with the buffsters over at MB7 to offer an amazing package to those who purchase selected bikes in our range. (Those over £1000).
We reckon the best way to get the most out of your new bike is to learn how to ride the thing better. Reasons? Well you will enjoy it more, want to ride it more and you will get faster (< pure scientific factorama right there).
The weekend of the 15th and 16th of August has been reserved for TBC customers so there is a stong incentive to buy a bike from us now so you are ready for that weekend. The skills weekend will be held by Andy from MB7 in the tropical Glentress forest in Peebles.
He will get you cornering, dropping and going fast by the end of the weekend and best of all he is a damn nice fellow who will take it slow and make sure you are getting each bit dialled.
The course only has 6 places so it is strictly limited - give us a call for more info if you like and Mark will tell you the details you need to know.
In the words of MB7 "Don't just upgrade your bike, Upgrade your skills".
In my words "well you wouldn't go buying a Carrera GT3 without learning to drive".
