The sun is out, there isn’t a cloud in the sky and the summer MTB season well and truly underway.
We have already had the Pass Portes du Soleil race – with the hub of this year’s race taking place in Chatel along with demos, competitions and exhibitions.
We had some Canadian freeride legends including Steve Romaniuk and some of the other RadicalFilms (Kranked) Riders in town for the 4th Chatel Mountain Style comp last weekend.
Trek, Scott and Commencal have had various product launches and team training in the region, we still have the Champery MTB World Cup on July 24-25th, plus Chatel is hosting the final of the European IXS Downhill Cup From Saturday 11 September to Sunday 12 September 2010.
As well as all the “celebrity” mtb news, the everyday riding in Chatel has stepped up a gear (excuse the pun) with a number of new trails at the bike park, and some improvements on the existing trails. Full information about the riding in Chatel can be found on the Chatel bike park site.
Take a look at the highlights of some of the season so far…
