40cm of snow at 1800m, no rocks hit.

Not bad!

They have brought in a proffessional from Bike Solution to direct the work and they are looking for voluteers to help out on June 16/17th. Brilliant, I can’t wait. “Engaging the users” is something that has always been a hurdle for the OT in Morzine, lets hope it’s the start of a new dawn.

The invite follows

“Bonjour à tous,

Yohann Vachette, de Bike Solution, vient mardi et mercredi prochains (16 et 17 juin) pour commencer les travaux de la piste verte.

C’est Jardiflore qui fournit la pelle mécanique.

Si vous souhaitez apporter votre concours à cette réalisation, et aider Yohann dans le suivi des travaux (piquetage, élagage si nécessaire, petits travaux manuels, finitions…), vous êtes les bienvenus et Yohann accepte avec plaisir un peu d’aide.

Merci et à +

Bruno (OT Morzine)

If you want to help out contact Bruno or drop us a line at endlessride, we’ll push you in the right direction.

We started with a circuit of Mt Chery, the precipitous bit was sign posted as closed. It was passable but required a little bit of carrying. We got back to Les Gets, 2 coffees later heated up the Chavannes for one descent, back up and the XC back to Morzine. Bad news – the singletrack back to Morzine is now a 1om wide piste. Ho hum.
