Out in the fresh air from today: the May issue of Ride

Fresh air is the order of the day. If you want to escape the summer heat this year, take a look at the May issue of Ride. With the Fuorcla Minor on the Bernina Pass, Monte Generoso, the Gibidumpass in Valais and a road trip through Scotland, the magazine shows you where you can keep a cool head in the height of summer.

The Upper Engadin is famous for its summer resorts. Less well known is the singletrail route to Fuorcla Minor on the Bernina Pass - read about it in the new issue of Ride. Monte Generoso in Ticino, which lies high above the heat of the valley floor of southern Ticino, is no longer an insider tip. Ride shows how you can combine this fantastic mountain with mountain biking. The magazine also features a major report on the route from the Simplon Pass over the Gibidumpass down to Brig - a Valais classic ridden in a completely new way. And last but not least, Ride rode with Julia Hofmann to the north of Scotland. Not only is there cool air and hot trails here, it's also the home of Julia's beloved Land Rover. You can read all about it in the May issue of Ride.

But the May issue has more to offer than just single trails. A major feature introduces some of the most influential people in mountain biking - namely those behind groundbreaking inventions. And Germany and Switzerland play an important role here. In another report, Ride shows how mountain bike tourism works and what factors you need to pay attention to in order to put the flow in the mountain biker's heart and a smile on their face.

Bike and accessory tests are of course just as much a part of the May issue of Ride as the varied lounge or the photo series by selected photographers. And what has been true for all previous issues of Ride is no different for issue 03/2019: above-average quality pictures, a loving design and a varied lounge with lots of interesting and unusual news from the world of mountain biking.
