We were lucky enough to have two of the Rough Riderz/Project Gravity X team stay at the BikeMorzine chalet this week.
Rough Riderz is a 4 wheeled downhill mountain biking club with the aim to promote 4 wheeled downhill mountain biking in and around the UK, providing taster days for people to try out the bikes as well as promoting the sport and developing new trails. Project Gravity X are aiming to design and manufacture a 4 wheeled mountain bike in the UK as well as increase awareness for the needs and requirements for 4 wheeled mountain bike accessible trails and uplifts in the UK.
BikeMorzine is the perfect venue for anyone interested in taking part in 4 wheeled (or 2 wheeled) mountain biking in the Alps as one of the only wheelchair accessible chalets in the area. Being situated just 20meters from the Pleney lift this gives guys like Phil and Tudur the rare opportunity to roll to the lift rather than worrying about packing the van each morning.
It was truly amazing to watch these guys ride in the alps, their sheer determination and love of the sport is breathtaking and they are helping so many others realise the potential for 4 wheeled mountain biking. The joy riding bikes brings to the 2 of them reminds you why we got involved in the sport in the first place. Check out their BikeMorzine guest edit above.
