Down with the Youth 0
I went out with 3 “youths” today. In the past I was never happy riding with under 18’s. Now I’m fully qualified I don’t worry about that anymore. I was tasked with showing them the area, particularly the way to and from the Chatel bike park. Two of them were on downhill bikes and the third a singlespeed dirt jumper – ouch!
We started out on the Morzine side at 9am and checked out the runs around the Nauchets and the new “shore”, we completed the circuit back to Morzine for an early burger at 11am. The afternoon started at 11.30, straight over to the Chatel bike parl and back again. Over there we did Panoramic, Serpentine, Blues and Rock, People, quite a lot of the “shore”! And a few other ones with names that escape me. The return to Morzine was via Run of the Mill. I only saw one spill and we only had one puncture. A very tidy trip.
67km and 4,500m of descending. 12 lifts. They looked fairly tired when we got back to Morzine at 4pm. They didn’t seem keen on “one more run” down the Pleney. Very Wise.
