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.

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 ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

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.

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 |
