Mountain bikers arrive for first guided holidays of the season
After a monster day yesterday, the mountain bikers were still surprisingly up for some more punishment. I thought that by going to the Animal Park and then maybe Nose Breaker it would give him the option of bailing out if they were too battered. A tough road climb later, all with the rather nice view that you see here, and it was lunch. After lunch and a rather fine lesson in Alpine descending he decided they weren't done for the day so off it was to the beast of a fire road to nose breaker. A rather tired Jean-Marc got to the top of the climb and readied himself for the descent. A good job the old boy had some body armour on, he luckily didn't reinforce the name of the trail but after his riding, it could be renamed, 'rolling around in stingers not knowing why you fell off trail', but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue though! Cake and coke soon revitalised him back at the chalet, that combined with a sauna had him looking forward to the next mountain bike ride on Thursday.
Mountain bike holiday fun in the week of the exploding bike tyres
The start of week two started off with a big bang. Well three in fact, Robins Stans No Tube set up was giving him some problems after the plane journey so he slapped a couple of tubes into his wheels instead. Bang one was before we left the chalet, his tyre exploding, showering him with latex sealant, nice. Fifteen minutes into the ride and it was the turn of bang two, leaving his inner tube in shreads. That fixed ten seconds later and his other tyre blew off the rim, nearly giving one of the local OAPs a heart attack! Deciding to bail at this point, Robin and Leighann went home and contemplate the complex structures of air retaining structures. Steve, Simon, John and myself continued on the valley ride with the Brevent extension, a cheeky little loop that adds... (Continued on the website).
The big bike trails come out to battle the freeride boys
It was the return of the freeriding boys this week minus the freeride bikes and body armour, so normal mountain bikers then. With only three days of proper riding with work was calling them all back on Thursday it was time to get the big guns out. The Possette, Miage and Trient were all on the cards as all of the guys wanted to ride some trails that they hadn't before. Half of us went up the front climb of Le Tour and the other far less foolish members went up in the bubble car. Bright red faces and complaints of sickness and dehydration at the top only goes to show that granny ring climbs on loose fire roads in 100 degree heat is not a good thing to inflict upon ones body. Salt sachets consumed and it was off to the Possette. After a brief lunch stop the superb descent was soon lapped up, with Jerry and Carl taking especially impressive trail detours! ...

Ryan makes a splash on his mountain bike
A welcome return to the hard riding and hard drinking posse of Liam, Len, Jez, Bo and John with guest star Ryan from the Lakes. A pretty heavy night down at the MBC upon arrival was all that was needed to start the first ride off on Sunday. Heavy heads soon cleared as the top of the Col du Possette made itself known taking the best way to travel, the bubble from Le Tour. A heavy duty first time descent for John and Bo who had not been out before awaited amongst the roots and switchbacks of just about everybodys favourite trail, The Possette. Suitably impressed with everyones descending prowess it was time to inflict a little Alpine pain into everyones legs with a trip top see the Miage Glacier the following day. Ryan even though he had been training in the hilliest of hilly places, ... (Continued on the website).
Road Bike Tour Du Mont Blanc
I must say I was pretty surprised that myself and a select few were to do the first road bike Tour du Mont Blanc. Mountain biking has always been "The" sport for me, but slowly and surely I had gotten into the whole road bike thang and the prospect of riding the TMB in three rather than five days was all of the encouragement I needed to get it organised. With fresh shaved legs and jersey pockets full of gels, me, Nick, Stevie and Andy set off from Chamonix to the first col of the trip the Montet. An easy few hundred metres of climbing later and the col was in the bag and with Switzerland beckoning and the ridiculously fast descent down to Martigny very much on our minds, we flew up the Col de Forclaz to our first refueling stop. The descent to Martigny was an absolute blast, braking hard into the bends and then sprinting back out of them was pretty close to the thrill of riding some choice singletrack. I know there will be some people that would disagree but fast push bikes + two inches of rubber on the ground + mental French and Swiss drivers = a pretty exhilarating ride. Next up it was the steep... (Continued on the website).

Increasing Your Metabolism To Lose Weight
By Cathi Graham, Thu Dec 8th

Increasing your metabolism to lose weight can be done in aslittle as 5 days! One-size-fits-all diets don’t work....but thenyou probably know that already. Have you ever tried a diet thatyour friend raved about, but which brought you little or noresults? Why would this happen? People are biochemicalindividuals and react differently to foods – this is why onediet may work for your friend, but not for you. You need todetermine what is the best combination of foods for your body.

Every body is unique. Every body needs and processes differentfoods at different levels of efficiency. The key to successfulweight release is based on finding out what food plan is rightfor your unique body, and what foods your body responds topositively to keep you at a healthy weight, without constantdieting and without suffering and feeling deprived.

It’s time to stop making the scales our “God” & rethinkHollywood’s idea of the perfect “air brushed body.” As CindyCrawford said when she saw an airbrushed picture of herself on amagazine cover, “I wish I could look like Cindy Crawford.” Withthe right metabolism program, you can have a realistic healthybody shape & feel great by taking charge of your life withhealthy, enjoyable food plans designed for your body type,engage in physical activity for fun & above all, learn how tofeel good about yourself. Join the thousands of other people whohave rejected the one-size-fits-all negative diet thinking anddiscover the rewards of energy and improved well being.


Here is a quick 5 day program that you can start today to rev upyour metabolism: Day

1: Squeeze ½ Lemon Into A Glass Of Water ~Drink this upon rising or before a meal as this cleanses thebody, aids in weight loss and keeps insulin balanced.

Day 2: Consume spices that burn calories~ Dr. Jay Henry Joya atthe Oxford Institute proved that some of the most famousfat-burners that increase your metabolism are cayenne pepper andmustard. For example, less than one tsp. of spicy mustard canincrease your metabolism by 25% for up to 3 hours!

Day 3: Identify what “triggers” your emotional eating. Beconscious that watching TV at night can send you snacking, sohave something to do with your hands instead, like puttingtogether puzzles or knitting.

Day 4: Get Moderate Doses of Sunlight....Surprise! ~ Sunlight inmoderation is good for increasing your metabolism, reports ZaneKim, M.D. “There is conclusive evidence that exposure tosunlight produces a metabolic effect in the body very similar tothat produced by physical training and is definitely followed bymeasured improvement in physical fitness.

Day 5: Start some sort of moderate exercise program, even 15 –20 minutes of walking is a great stress reducer for apsychological and physical win. Do something active you like -walking, biking, swimming, etc. You will soon get hooked!
