All your bike holliday needs in Morzine & Les Gets

The equipment that we take along (or forget to take along) on our biking trail can make the difference between a ride we will enjoy and remember for years and between a ride that we will also remember for years, but not as a pleasant one. Additionally, every area has its own special attributes that riders should now about, so they can fit their gear they bring along accordingly. As told in the past posts, all trails can be found in the Morzine area One of the main attractions of our area located in the French Alps is our fabulous downhill trails. Here is a basic list of some of the things we highly recommend to bring on a ride on these trails:

1. Biking Backpack - Backpacks that are especially designed for mountain biking are sold in biking stores. You can also purchase one in les gets  Morzine. These packs usually are healthy for your bank, comfortable and waterproof.
2. Water - For a ride lasting for more than an hour, bring 2 liters of water. I recommend bringing the water in a water device that can be put in your bag and allows you to drink at any time, hands free (these devices are also known as ‘water bags‘)
3. Food - Bring light food such as fruit and energy bars.
4. Pump - Bring a pump that is powerful and small.
5. Two spare inner tubes - Even if you take many precautions, the likelihood for punctures in these trails are high.
6. First Aid Kit - Bring along the equipment that will allow you to take care of yourself reasonably until you get help. Most important is an elastic bandage. Make sure that it is in tact.
7. A Chain Splinter - Bring a good one.
8. Photographers - bring a camera! All of the trails in the Morzine and Les-Gets area have amazing views!
This is only a partial list of reminders. Before setting out on a bike trail, consult with one of the many bike advisers about mountain biking in Morzine.

Have a fun ride!
