We have used our local knowledge and contacts to get what we think is the best bike friendly hotel accommodation for the 2012 Megavalanche. We have teamed up with the Hotel Beausoliel just 10 seconds (YES 10 SECONDS bike ride !) from the main DMC lift station that takes you to the Megavalanche Race and Qualifier Start line and also access to all the other fantastic Alpe d’Huez trails.
Couple of returning guests in last week on our mountainbike week. They bought full face helmets especially to try out the Megavalanche route. I think said full face helmets will be going on ebay in a few weeks !
It appears that there is a new route for the Megavalanche Qualifying this year down to the village of Huez. More info as we get it. They certainly have been cutting a new MTB trail down the side of the mountain over the last couple of weeks. Looking forward to riding it when it is fully open
We now only have 3 rooms remaining for Megavalanche 2011 in our catered chalet in Alpe d’Huez. Click here to get all the information or to book now.
I cycled up to middle section of the Megavalanche trail yesterday ( as the lifts are not running its a steep doubletrack road) and mountain biked back to our base in Bourg d’Oisans. The MTB team in Alpe d’Huez are busy building and maintaining the trails so parts of it were un rideable. Don’t expect much snow on the Glacier for 2011!
I was in Andalucia southern spain last week sorting out some road cycling weeks staying with Shaun and Csilla at www.ridesierranevada.com . On the last day of my stay Shaun and Csilla took me on a nez mountain bike trail they have discovered just north of their accommodation. The singletrack trail down the mountain was too good to stop to take photos but I did take a couple on the climb up to give some idea of the scale. Both Shaun and Csilla have now booked to come do the Megavalanche with us next year.
