No bike rides this weekend. The team and 8 others were in Argentiere in the Chamonix valley, skiing.Fun was had by all and the efforts should add to fitness. Everyone was certain that the cycling had helped develop strong legs for off-piste skiing and our guide, Mark Seaton was impressed.
It wasn't all down hill too, we had to go uphill on skis(called skinning) to reach a valley to ski down and Chris sneaked off for more of this on Sunday morning. Here is a picture of the group putting skins on their skis.
No injuries although Pete did manage to ski off a cliff and land on his head and Simon ended up in a deep gully, pictured.
Great news on the sponsorship front, Stuart and his business, Cache Media have agreed to sponsor the Wayfarers Wheelers team jerseys and shorts.
We also had a good article on us in our local paper, The Newbury Weekly News.
Back to getting the miles in next weekend.
