    November 2006

    November and guess what... still in shorts and t-shirt.

    The first Saturday of the month was spent in Central Switzerland, doing a route from Stans which mainly traversed the west flanks of the Buochserhorn. Some of this was steep as anything and the views in this part of the world are something else:

    The next weekend, Christoph and I took the opportunity (in still great weather) to hit the Lötschberg Südrampe for the 2nd time this Autumn. This has to be one of the best XC trails I've ridden and because of it's unique geographical position it has a true mediterranean feel to it. Has to be seen/ridden to be believed:

    The rest of the weekend consisted of lugging stuff to the Bourg St.Maurice re-furb job. Got some photos along the way though:

    In the middle of November we had another weekend of lugging stuff southwards but managed in amongst all this to sneak an afternoon off and visit the Bozel valley. The highlight of this ride was a VERY exposed cliff edge trail between Tincave and le Châtelard. I like this valley - it's going to be the scene of trailAddiction's "Vanoise Enduro Day" as from July 2007:
