First (proper) Snows

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:09:50 +0000

Carl and Sian and I headed out for a couple of hours to check on snow conditions. We walked / snow shoed up to Chamossiere, 2010m. The rain had mixed in with the snow and formed a fair base, best above 1800m. Hard to talk depths thanks to the windblown nature but 20 to 30 cm seems about right. We witnessed one skier descend very tidily from the summit. He only hit a couple of rocks lower down. If you do head out on the weekend choose your under surface carefully!

Orange Alpine 160’s for sale.

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:20:30 +0000

We have ~~two~~ one Orange Alpine 160’s for sale. A 16″ and an 18″ They are “off the shelf” and identical to:

http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/2009bikes/bike.php?model_id=105

If you are not sure about the size there is a sizing chart on this website.

They have been very well looked after, before we use them we cover them in protective tape and remove many of the original parts. When we sell them we strip the tape off and put back the kit we have taken off. It’s quite an operation but when completed the bikes always look very good. They will be in full working order too, anything that has become “wobbly” over the summer will be replaced with new parts.

They were purchased at the end of May this year, the warranty for the parts and Frame will be honoured until May 2010.

Price to be 1,950 euros or about £1,700.

Retail is £2,799.95 so that about 60% of the original price after only 3 months use!

Check out the photos of the 16″. Doesn’t it look stunning?

Last minute deals available next week

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:19:43 +0000

Due to a last minute cancellation we have some spaces available in Chalet Berger for next week (so from Saturday 11/July/2009).

I’ve just checked the cost of a flight with easyjet and from Manchester it’s less than £100 (all in).

If you can find some time and fancy a trip over (the weather forecast is great too) give us a call on +33 4 50 74 23 20. The prices are (very) negotiable. Or contact us via the endlessride website.

50 guests for the Pass’portes

admin — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 23:27:40 +0000

This wasn’t a record, the record was 74 and goes back a few years (the passportes weekend again) but this was the first time we catered for them all. We hired the Bel Alpe hotel, lock stock and barrel, the owners spent 20 minutes showing us how to use it and then handed us the keys. We’ve known them since we arrived in Morzine in1999 so it wasn’t as if they were taking a huge risk? The main body of guests came with Andy from Biketreks (thanks Andy!) and in fact we probably new 30/50 guests from previous visits which made things easier. It was hard work, we all (Sam, Gareth, Carl, Sian and John) did a number of 12 hr+ days but it was worth it. Everyone was happy too. But then I maintain that may have had something to do with the weather, it’s very easy to be happy with blue bird morning and 25C in the afternoons. This picture is of the Biketreks crew.

Our cheapest week in 10 years.

admin — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:41:03 +0000

Chalet Berger special offer : Week commencing August 8th – 20% off our normal price.

That makes it just 450 Euros for a week’s catered holiday in our premier chalet. At today’s exchange rate that’s about £388 and the cheapest week’s catered mountain bike holiday endlessride have ever offered in 10 years! The price even includes your airport transfer and I’ve just checked on flights with EasyJet which from London to Geneva to suit this week’s holiday are still under £100 including taxes. So I guess it’s not just us that are quiet this week!
