Just thought I'd let you know that while you lot are hard at work I'm sitting in a chalet after a morning of downhill riding. It's fookin' ace. Up on the ski lifts, down the mountains on the bikes, all armoured up etc. I'm sure some people can't get the idea of what I'm doing, but other bikers will.
I'm on my laptop which I brought to upload pictures etc and it happens the chalet has wireless internet.
Got soaked right through this morning but it's all good fun.
Anything in particular on here? Any gossip 
Total miles covered from Biggleswade to here was about 650 miles  left at 5.30am, got here at about 7.00pm French time.

I never get this gripe. I'd come on to rub it in. Plus he's in his chalet on a wireless set up. Fair play

It isn't much of a holiday holiday. The weathers shite, the ridings nackering and the journey completely fucked me up by Sunday night
Nath got it right, although I'm not really rubbing it in, just telling you guys what I'm upto. Plus I come on the laptop to send the missus' a lovey dovey email

Shame it is pissing with rain almost permanently. Last year it was beautiful sunshine, too hot in fact but I wasn't here. That is the way it goes though, makes it more interesting when you're sliding down mountain woods on your ass

Slight update, may be some more pictures later.
Went to Morzine today as it was a dry day today. When I say dry, I mean no rain, there was still fookin' loads of mud. On my 3rd run I cleaned it, doing all the expert red runs and none of the green fookin' well chuffed.
