With a bit of a break in the World Cup race schedule the team decided to head over to Alpe D'Huez for the Mega Week.

The Mega week consists of an epic week of riding testing bike and body to the max! The main event of the week is the Mega Avalanche race which is the biggest, toughest and most famous enduro downhill event there is. The race is a 33km decent from the top of the Glacier in Alpe D'Huez down and finishing in the town of Allemont.

Julien was at the 2nd Round of the French National Cup this weekend, here is his report:

Hi All... this week end I went to Super-Besse in the centre of France to race the 2nd round of the French Cup. From the top of the hill, we had a beautiful panorama with volcanos and lakes in the sunshine.

Most of the team (apart from Ruaridh who competing in a Scottish National back home and placing 2nd) competed in the the Downhill race at the huge bike festival in Willingen, Germany at the weekend. The festival is huge with all of Germanys MTB industry there with stands showing products from bikes to basically everything you can buy related to riding. It is like a massive outdoor bike show.

Having decided to spend a weekend at home after the Fort William World Cup, Ruaridh entered the third round of the Scottish Downhill Series to keep his schedule busy and keep his focus on racing.
