We have teamed up with Singletrack Magazine and are now offering all their subscribers 10 percent off all our holidays (excluding holidays in July). So if you fancy riding the legendary 84 switchbacks of Oulles the descent of the Col Du Galibier , the Megavalanche trail, or one of a dozen other fantastic trails then ride with Ride Oisans.
On a perfect autumn day in the Oisans the challenge was to find the mountain bike trail down the Col du Galibier – think Tour de France. A plan was hatched -
Well I did it the descent was fantastic – super fast , rocky. The climb well that was great to but you can check that out at the road blog.
The organisers have just announced the dates for the 2009 Megavalanche they are the 6th -12th July 2009. Entries will be taken for the event from 12th January. We will also have a chalet in Alpe d’Huez again so contact us at info@rideoisans.com for more information or check out the Ride Oisans website.
Course de VTT de descente, ouverte à tous, pendant 3 jours (une journée de reconnaissance le 17 juillet et 2 jours de course les 18 & 19 juillet), réunissant amateurs et professionnels dont le but principal est de se dépasser dans un pur esprit freeride et convivial.
Ils seront 400 pilotes au maximum à prendre le départ de ce véritable derby de VTT depuis le glacier des 2 Alpes, soit 2500 mètres de dénivelé négatif ou près de 25 kilomètres.
