Downhill Mountain Biking…
Today was the Mountain biking day..
After collecting our bikes we set off up the mountain on the chair lift to Les Chavannes.
We then cycled to Lac de Joux plane, a nice downhill ride on a road, with great views of Mont Blanc..
After having coffee we cycled back up to the Les Chavannes.
We then took what was sign posted as a very easy downhill ride suitable for families.
All I can say is that if that was easy I would not like to try hard .
It was very scary at times because not only was it fast but very narrow and winding too.
After I had recovered we decided to try a cross country route by the river towards Morzine.
Once there we got the De Pleney chair lift up the mountain.
Then just a short downhill section before joining the road and a great fast run all the way back into Les Gets..

Don’t think there’s a bike strong enough for me.
Fabulous.
Thanks

It’s hot here, and the thought of all that exercise is exhausting me!
