Down on the left!
So I’m lucky enough to be heading to Italy in the middle of September to carry the bosses bags for a conference she’s presenting at near Nice. She has given me a leave pass to go riding wherever I want for several days as she and the spawn will come along and do other stuff. We are also going to head to France while we are there.
Initially Morzine and Les Gets was the plan but their season ends a couple days before we arrive on the 16th. The big mountains of the Alps is a no brainer obviously. Makes Buller look like an anemic ant hill.
So I’m looking further south where the riding season lasts longer.
I’ll be hiring a bike so from Rome or Nice we can fly, drive, or train it pretty much anywhere. A couple of locations that have caught my eye as the Alps are no go are Val Nord in Andorra and possibly Madeira.
Madeira floats my boat as footage and shots from the Trans Madeiras look wild.
Except for watching the DH races in Europe I know nothing about the place.
So has anyone ridden over there or have any suggestions for locations that are rideable from The 16/17th of September?
Only prerequisite is it also needs to be somewhere the family can enjoy while I’m riding.
