Marmotte2011 entry and accommodation
Great news - Cycle Hame have recently been offered Marmotte 2011 entries and hotel accommodation places. This is great as we planned being at the event anyway, and have decided to combine these into a week package. This will include the above entry and accommodation plus 4 nights catered chalet accommodation with guided/supported riding in our Les Allues chalet. We will be posting more details on the website soon.

Dry winter, early opening of the big cols?
This winter has not been a great season for the local ski areas. We have had good ski conditions here in the 3 Valleys but there has been a real lack of natural snow and the area has had to rely heavily on the snow making system.
The flip side is the roads have been dry for a big part of the season and good for cycling for this time of year. It should also mean that the big cols like the Madeleine, Cormet de Roselend etc will see an early opening. Looking around the peaks the snow line is high for the time of year while in the valleys many of the trees are in blossom with the temperatures getting up to 20degC. I have managed a few rides outdoors, both on the flat and over a couple of the smaller cols, and so far it has been very pleasant.

Summer cycling season about to start
The summer is well under way but the summer season is only just about to begin. We have been busy inter season finishing off our winter season, handing back chalets, organising chalets for next season, end of year accounts and preparing for the summer. We have of course managed to do other things, Anne has been back in the UK with Aiden visiting family. I was looking after cycling guests in early June for another operator. That was fun and at the end of the second week we all got to ride the Time Megeve cyclosportive. This was a well run event in a great location and will appear on our program for next season, due to be held on June12, 2011. See www.csportmegeve.com for more details if you are interested.
Next weekend we have La Marmotte 2010 and then the following weekend we have our own guests arriving for the Tour de France Alps week.

Last week of winter season, preparing for cycle season
We are now in our final week of guests for the winter ski season and are now looking forward to the summer cycle season. We have had some nice weather and have been cycling in shorts and short sleeves some days. The snow line is steadily retreating up the hill and can look forward to some of the higher cols opening. We have confirmed that we will be operating Chalet Grange a Charlotte in the summer. This is a very nice chalet recently renovated with good sized rooms, ensuite baths, hot tub, free wifi and secure bike storage. It has been extremely popular with our skiing guests over the winter months.
