Since we’re hitting the Alps next weekend and becoming an international MTB celebrities, I tought it would be reasonable to do some bloggin in english (or at least something that reminds of english, so sorry about my bad grammar).
So it’s only seven days to the big thing! Passportes du Soleil is by far the biggest biking related event we have ever done so I guess we’re little bit exited 🙂 We’re flying to Geneva on thursday morning and we’ll pick up our rental car from the airport. The drive down to our base camp Les Gets should be only about an hour, but since it’s us, I’ll guess we will arrive to our hotel just in time to have some breakfast.
FailReaction (on this event Lauri and Ari) will participate the event on friday. I am not too comfortable with the fact that airlines tend to lose some luggage, and because we have our own rides with us, it might be a bit risky to take the event right next day as we fly in. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and we get our Pivots with us right away.
Passportes du Soleil event is on for the whole weekend so after we ride the course on friday, we’ll have two full days to wander around the expo area. After that the plan is to ride the trails for the following days and duration of our stay will be 5 days + travels. Hopefully we get to ride atleast 200km of trails, but again it’s us, so I guess it’ll be about 15 km after we break either our bikes or ourselves.
Our preparations are late as you would expect from us but we’ll make sure that the FailReaction skull logo will be remembered by every participant of the event! You have been warned! But now is time to celebrate midsummer and on sunday we will begin packing. There’s more to come so stay tuned!
