Hey all, well we have some good news and some bad news about the upcoming Megavalanche in Peru.
The good news is that the organizers claim that a few big names like Peaty and Fabian are coming down for the event.
Unfortunately to accommodate the schedules of these guys the Race has been moved forward to the end of January.
While this will be cool for most people, this side of the Andes will be in full rainy season and will not be the riding paradise it is for most of the year.

Due to these changes we are not going to be able to run our 2 week trip leading up to the race but instead will be running the same style trip around July next year (coinciding with US summer break), which will lead up to a Killer Urban Assault of the kind you wont see anywhere else in the world.
We are talking 1300 ft drop over 1 ¼ miles of stairs, cobble stone streets and alleys. Have a look at one of our previous urban races at:

Any way now you have more time to plan and get down here.
If your interested contact us soon, first ones in will fill the places.

Cheers
Team Gravity
