One of the most extreme MTB races on the planet, the Megavalanche, has opened it's doors for another year.
This downhill/endurance race has to be seen to be believed. If you're thinking about entering, you'll have to be fit, technically excellent and yes. A little insane.
Chris, our resident MTB expert swears by the event, but suggests you really make sure you take the right bike.
Bearing in mind the event throws it's 400-odd participants down a black run piste at 40mph over some incredibly demanding terrain, it might be suprising to some that it's so popular, but this race sells out every year.
Now is the time to book the tickets and your holidays (the event is in July).
