If you have seen the recent issue of Dirt then you will see that they have put both Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez a long with Bourg d’Oisans as three of their favourite riding spots in Europe. With our base in the centre of Bourg d’Oisans near all the bars and restaurants why not give Morzine a miss this year and try the Oisans instead. Our prices start from £295 £GBP for one weeks stay in Bourg d’Oisans including ride support and vehicle uplifts. We can also pick you up from Grenoble Airport or Station and Lyon Airport.

With some relatively warm temperatures in Bourg d’Oisans this new year I decided to go for a new years ride to Venosc at the bottom of Les Deux Alpes on my xc bike. The trail was pretty good compared to last year when i attempted it with only small patches of ice. I used the ice and rode it flat out as it is good preperation for riding the top section of the Megavalanche over the glacier.


If you fancy the Mega but want to combine it with some other riding as well then we tackle the course on our week long stays in August.

I attended my first VTT (MTB) race last weekend in Grenoble. It was a pretty low key affair and tailored for families. My seven year old son entered his first downhill, xc and trials race and finished a respectable 5th out of about 30 kids in his age group.

I a long with a friend enterd the 2 hour relay XC race. I knew I was in trouble when I saw the short course about 10 mins per lap the 3 short sharp climbs (nothing like we are used to in Alpe d’Huez) and the 20 or so cyclo cross bikes !
The event took place next to the cycling clubs velodrome so each lap involved a quick sprint on the velodrome before handing over to your coleague to do a lap. It was hard going with short recovery times with lung busting short climbs. The great thing though about french events is there is always loads of food to eat.
For the record I believe we were 27th out of quite a few more ?!
