WIN! A French riding holiday worth £600. Nice...

Rosee Woodland Monday, Jun 15, 2009 5.00pm

Ahhh, the summer holidays. There's nothing better than a week in the Alps. Flowing through the singletrack, railing those tasty berms.

And topping it all off at the end of the day with a delicious meal and lovely local plonk.

But wait, there is something better... How about getting all of this for free?

That's right, here at MBUK Towers we've teamed up with the fantastic White Room chalet to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a fantastic holiday.

The White Room is at the heart of the Sainte Foy area, which has 1,300m of descents and heaps of fantastic natural singletrack. At the centre of the Tarantaise valley in the Alps, the chalet has it's own minibus and trailer for uplift, plus well equipped bike workshop and wash.

Owners Steve and Iona are both UK-qualified bike leaders and join guests on different trails every day - a typical week might include a day in Sainte Foy, with a vehicle assisted tour of the sunny side of the valley, a couple of backcountry days of epic rides with the van for uplift and a couple of days riding the chairlifts and endless singletrack of Les Arcs and La Thuile. There's also full-on downhill available at Tignes and Les Arcs.

Make sure you log onto www.whiteroomchalet.com to check them out and get a clue for the answer... Then turn to page 46 of this month's mag for how to enter, or go to www.futurecomps.co.uk/mbuksan and enter online.

What the White Room offer really is quite special. Enter the comp and you could be enjoying their fantastic hospitality!
