Ride put its large tour database online in March 2016. Now it has been significantly expanded for the first time with 27 singletrail tours from the Aosta Valley. This is still considered a great insider tip for fans of alpine single trails. The Ride database includes all the important tours between Courmayeur and Verrès, including classics such as the Banzai Trail, Becca Trail, Zumba, Monte Zerbion and Val Ferret.

Ride launches its season every year in the Vosges and this year invites its readers to the Flow & Spa Camp from April 22 to 24. During the three days, there will be: lonely climbs on forest roads, traditional fermes with homemade specialties for lunch, fantastic views over the Rhine Valley to the Alps and eternally long singletrail descents that are unsurpassed in terms of flow and garnished with wonderfully crisp sections.
