Yes, It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for. Powder Monkey Holidays Inc are branching out into the exciting sister sport of Mountain Biking. You can now follow the exploits of your favourite Monkeys as they travel the world enjoying a wider range of mountain-centric vacation activities, with the emphasis still firmly on going down them at pace. We’ll be offering the same brand of banal holiday titbits as before, but with the exotic combination of less snow, more mud, shorts and body armour and (in all likelihood) more injuries.
The first venture into the muddy world of alpine mountain biking comes at the end June when Powder Monkey regular Rhodri Evans will join biking guru Alex Redwood on a trip to popular summer getaway Morzine, in the French Alps.
Despite being a Rookie Powder Monkey Mr Redwood has a wealth of experience in his chosen vacational field, having travelled the world in search of the best trails, finest riding comrades and most sophisticated of exotic ales. And Desperados.
As usual, when we can be arsed, we’ll be providing an occasional commentary on the weeks activities, photos and x-rays where applicable. We will also contain updates on the various new components we’ve been forced to purchase through reckless disregard for our beloved bikes mechanicals.
Updates will begin in earnest during June. Excitingly, we are considering offering an alternative, sanitised site for loved ones who may not wish to read about the various crashes and near misses sustained during the week by their nearest and dearest. This site will also suggest the participants are regretting coming away from friends and family and are in fact counting the days until they return from the hell-hole that is the Haute Savoie region.
On the subject of misinformation, any tales of daring-do and heroic riding by Rhodri should be taken with a pinch of salt. See if you can spot any pictures where he’s airbrushed out the shopping basket from the handlebars of his bike and replaced it with a sun bleached mountain goat skull.

Maybe the PM off shot could be called the Mud Monkeys. I know it's a bit obvious, but I think it works. Did you upgrade to larger rotors before your trip this year? Nick 5.5
