I am unsure of which bike to take to Morzine , to get the most from the trip , if i take my DH bike that speaks for itself , but if i take my commencal meta 5.5 i could do dh and some xc .
So do i take the commencal or the dh ?

I aint exactly great mate, but i do know how to get to the good stuff which is about an hour and half from morzine. Morzine has some great stuff but its mainly classic downhill stuff no real gaps or jumpage, chatel however has it all..
Ill Pm you my mobile closer to the time and we'll hook up, how many of you going ?

Yup go for the azonic. You'll need something that can eliminate those breaking bumps!

The breaking bumps were especially bad on the Chavannes (Les Gets) last year. Go for the big rig!
