This is the one! The Holy Grail, The Elephants Graveyard, The Mecca for all you Mountainbikers out there. The Saab Salomon Megavalanche 2009. Entries open on Monday January the 12th at 14:00GMT (London).
Get yourself online and entered ASAP as these tickets will run out faster than a loose chicken in a Cambodian village.
July the 11-12th Megavalanche France is the date so that is approximately 6 months of elbow grease you need to apply. The qualifier is around 25-30minutes with 80% DH, 5% uphill and 15% of flat. The main event will take you at least an hour to descend and is approximately 60% DH, 15% uphill and 25% of flat.
Why am I telling you this? The great misconception is that the Megavalanche is a DH race. Realistically it's a DH marathon and a real fine balance during racing between the DH monkeys and the the XC Enduro legs. Therefore whether you are clipped in or riding flats, we look forward to seeing you on that French start line in July.
