Although we are mountain bikers through and through we too have been seduced by the raw speed and purity of road biking. We had requests from a few of our regular visitors who ride both mountain bikes and road bikes. They said if you can do a Tour du Mont Blanc on mountain bikes then you must be able to do it on road bikes! So in July 2005 we got them together and circumnavigated the Mont Blanc Massif on road bikes in just three days. For 2006 we have decided to offer a road bike Tour Du Mont Blanc. The tour will be similar to the off road version, i.e. supported so all you need to take with you is your normal dayÕs riding kit and a healthy attitude to challenging some of the biggest mountain passes in the Alps. All of your clothing, food, spare parts and tools will be taken each evening to the hotel and will be waiting for you when you arrive each evening. Check out website for the full information.

10fifty mountain bike holidays now has a special deals section on their website. Although a small and exclusive mountain bike holiday company, they have got some late availability deals that are 40GBP / 75USD off the normal price. With small group sizes and some bookings already in, there will be only a limited number of places still remaining at these lower prices, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Check out the website for more details.

10fifty mountain bike holidays have just put their new mountain bike photo gallery live. This photo section will compliment the existing Flash based one with one using standard HTML pages and JPEG images. This is to allow mountain bikers to choose how long they view a particular image before going to the next one. It will also make it easier for 10fifty to keep putting new photos up as holiday guests submit their images of mountain biking in Chamonix and the surrounding French Alps area.

With the weather in Chamonix Yo-Yo-ing from 29 degrees to grey and overcast its a good time to check out the new weather page on the 10fifty website. The mountain bike guides adapt the holiday rides to provide the best riding for any given weather conditions, but it is fun to see what the weather is doing week to week on the run up to your holiday. With Overview images of the Alpine weather and a detailed forecast for the Chamonix Mont Blanc Area you don't need to be doing any weather searches for your mountain biking holiday weather.

10fifty Mountain Bike Holidays has a new chalet for this summer mountain biking season in Chamonix, France. The new chalet provides an even higher level of accommodation with improved bedrooms and bathroom facilities. Ian Mills the owner and head guide of 10fifty said the biggest difference will come in the communal areas. "The old chalet was great but restricted what we could offer our guests, this new chalet gives mountain bikers access to a sauna, satellite TV, high speed Internet access and a kicking sound system. We will still be delivering the same high standards and large portions of food to keep the biker fueled up for a great week's mountain biking on some of the world's best singletrack." Prices are still the same even with the improved chalet facilities, and when you compare them to other companies with their hidden extras and lack of emphasis on quality mountain bike guiding 10fifty's mountain bike holidays are surprisingly low priced.

With less than a month to go before 10fifty are guiding mountain bikers on the high mountain trails of Chamonix the weather is getting increasingly better. Temperatures are rising and the sun is shining. Check out the webcam for the latest picture looking up at Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix's highest cable car. Bookings are flowing in, so to make sure you get the dates you want get in touch with 10fifty Mountain Bike Holidays sooner rather than later!

10fifty Mountain Bike Holiday guides are this weekend off on their first aid refresher course. The two day mountain first aid course is something that all the guides have to attend. The mountains in Chamonix are an imposing environment and accidents can happen when mountain biking so we like to be prepared, but hope it will never happen. We have have an excellent record when taking people on their mountain bike holidays, so why risk your week's mountain biking in the alps with a ski company when you can go with a real mountain bike holiday company?

10fifty Mountain Bike Holidays have just updated their mountain biking holiday information website with the latest prices and availability for guided mountain bike holidays in the French Alps. New to the holiday plan for 2005 are dates for the Tour of Mont Blanc Holiday, also known as the Three Countries Holiday Tour. The Tour du Mont Blanc Holiday takes mountain bikers through France, Switzerland and Italy riding over some of the best Alpine singletrack in an epic five day mountain biking adventure.
