There's something rather special about getting covered in mud, weaving down steep mountain trials, engaging mind over matter at maximum speed on two wheels, then laughing till your sides split with like minded ladies.
Wether you're already hooked, or are an intermediate looking to progress, FlowMTB are about to start their third summer of women only mountain biking trips in the Alps. From their base in stunning Champery, 90 minutes from Geneva, on the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil region, the weeks will take over the Rose des Alpes Hotel for the week of August 2 to 9.
With training run by Masters World Downhill Champion Petra Wiltshire - sponsored by the Trek-Extreme Medics Racing Team presented by thecyclejersey.com and with twelve years of racing experience - the week is not for the faint hearted, as she will push you beyond the limits you thought you were capable of... and then take you around the town's bars afterwards.
As well as improving your two wheeled abilities, the week promises to make you friends for life and improve confidence - as your progressing with other like minded, similarily motivated women. A rest day is planned mid week too: so you'll be able to recharge in a local spa, via a mountain hike or just keep riding...
Cost of the week is a bargainous 800 Euros - which includes accomodation, food, six day lift pass, guiding tuition and airport transfers.
So if you're keen log on to flowmtb.com/ or call organiser Sara on +44 (0308) 123 5664 or the +33 (0) 688 101 757.
