The Chalet

We're finally here, the Dirt Girls have all arrived in Morzine for the Dirt Girls week of mountain bike skills tuition and full on mountain riding. The chalet is lovely, loads of great food and wine and good company....what more can you ask for?

Emily Horridge has checked out the trails and we're all excited about our first day together on the mountains tomorrow. We'll be heading down to Morzine and up the llift and over the mountain into Les Get to have a warm up and see how our skills fair before Emily decides what areas the riders need to focus on.

Here are some pics taken this afternoon whilst we nipped out to check our bikes were working fine after the flight over. We'll be writing a daily diary so keep logged on to hear the personal feedback from the Dirt Girls and how our riding improves. We'll also be testing women specific saddles from Selle Italia, Specialized, Bontrager, WTB and San Marco and there's the chance to demo Santa Cruz bikes too! We;ll be sure to post the details and our reports soon.

If you would like more details on women's mountain bike holidays and skills camp go to www.mountainbikeholidays.co.uk there's another week in August with only 2 places available so get in quick!
