Steve Peat has boosted his next season team negotiations with a victory in
the Megavalanche cup.

We can’t blame him for leaving Sheffield for the tropical island of Reunion
in the Indian Ocean either, especially with courses that take him over 54
minutes to complete!
Gravity website Descent-World has the
results and a full report. In a nutshell though, it took, legendarily fast, Peat nearly an hour to
complete the course only just beating Frenchman Samuel Peridy by 2 seconds.

So next time you’re thinking of laying into downhillers for being fat, unfit
and lazy think of pedalling a 40lb, at least, downhill monster flat out for nearly
an hour. In the meantime we’ll be checking out the Reunion holiday
brochures. We reckon if it takes Steve that long, it’ll probably be a day
ride for us!!
