Well, we've had a fantastic
summer with more fish on
the line than we can count. Now it's time to shift gears, chase
down all the fun that can be found in the fall and get ready for winter
and the upcoming ski season.
We've signed on with Rocky
Mountain Bikes as our new sponsor - they make some of the highest-quality
XC, all-mountain, and freeride/DH bikes on the planet, and we have been
putting them to the test throughout the Alps. We have even discovered
a bunch of new terrain, accessed by mini-trams throughout the Rhône Valley.
August through November offer
the best biking that Europe has to offer. With this in mind, we've
put together a few amazing deals on incredible European bike trips that
will be sure to blow you away. |

Ride the Old Country...
In the Southwest corner
of Switzerland, the Rhône Valley is home to some of the most diverse mountain
bike terrain in the Alps, with resorts like Verbier, the Portes du Soleil,
Crans-Montana, and Zermatt all within easy striking distance. Not to mention
the myriad "underground" trails, accessed by trains, trams, and road shuttles,
that crisscross the region. Whether you enjoy adrenaline-charged lift-served
freeriding, leg-pumping XC rides, or a combination of the two, the 8-day
Rhône Valley trip has it all.

Immerse Yourself
in Italy...
Home
to some of the best wines on the planet, the area of Piedmont in northern
Italy is also known for excellent road cycling routes that meander through
the vineyards, as well as being the home of the Slow Food movement. And
in fall, the town of Alba comes alive with the world-famous Fiere del Tartufo,
or white truffle festival.
This
8-day trip will sample some of the epic road riding while taking part in
the incredible gastronomic opportunities that Piedmont is known for. We'll
stay at Slow Food-endorsed Albergos, experiencing the sustainable farming
lifestyle firsthand. A private visit to the Italian Wine Bank, with a tasting
at the country's heritage collection in a 14th-Century grotto, and dining
at legendary local Osterie. Special tours of our favorite Barolo, Barbaresco,
and Barbera vineyards, and a visit to the Slow Food market and Torino's
amazing daily market makes this a cycling trip that you'll never forget.

Cruising the Julian
Alps...
Feast
on the rich history, culture, scenery and amazing food and wine of the
Northeast Friuli Region of Italy, as the locals do from the saddle of a
road bike. Italians who know the roads and restaurants like the back of
their hand bring you under their wing to experience “la dolce vita.”
From the charming Valbruna Inn framed by the magnificent peaks of the Julian
Alps, peddle into Italy, Austria and Slovenia. Explore the melting pot
of these three completely different cultures as they meet and blend together.
