I went two years ago and rode the course on my hard tail and decided i would build a bike an return. Whilst building my fitness up in 2011 I tripped over a dog whilst packing the car to go downhill riding in Wales and dislocated my knee, once that was fixed I tried again and dislocated two ribs near Christmas. So i still have the bike. I could get the fitness in time. I just need peeps to go with. Any takers?

Alp du huez during 'Mega week' is a happening place to be and if i wasn't fit to race i'd consider going just to ride the trails, enjoy the atmosphere and watch more grown men cry while they wait for an expensive helicopter flight.

There was me thinking this was a forum of thousands of adrenalin seeking, rufty tufty bikers...

No takers?

I wouldn't mind a crack at the Mega but I wouldn't go to properly race it! It'd be cool to just ride the track with a million other people falling around the place.

Saying that, I'd like to just go to France on a riding holiday full stop. Same old usual drivel of not being able to afford it though

Possibly, though seriously need to up my dirt-game; as think I mentioned somewhere, sucked on that event I did the other weekend - still faster than others on the 'technical' bits but that's not saying much.

Wouldn't really know until closer to the time.

If I did do it, of course have a 6 seat van with space for bikes on top or large lorry .

I like the idea of something like this, if only I had a decent downhill bike... but that can be fixed next May when my current cycle2work bike gets paid off and I can get another.

Should I change the title to Mega 2014?

My 'rig' has cost to date £800 and i'd consider it reliable. My kit £160.

Looks good! 2013 would be a bit soon for me though. Got a shed load of other stuff I need to pay for first unfortunately.

Did the mega last year... was really mental, the qualifier was probably the most intense race I've done, the actual mega was fun with lots of sliding in the snow

Simple I'm deffo up for this mate!
Funnily enough me and my buddy were on about in work this week.


What is your current ride?

I think I'm gonna hit it with an 160mm enduro. should handle it no probs - cant see the point of 180 travel and shit climbing ability for my only ride.

I'll be doing it - only a few hours drive for me so not so epic. my mate came 5th on a hardtail in the runners up race which is pretty impressive... hoping to beat his time.

How much does it cost to do?

I've always wanted to do it, but always assumed that you had to be competing to ride it. Can anyone just pay to give it a go?
