"Passion without limits" is the background report in Ride 0413. Ride visited three people who were separated from mountain biking by a stroke of fate and yet have found their way back to it. "A matter of luck" is the photo report from the Barrhorn, the highest hiking peak in the Alps. Ride editor Thomas Giger and mountain bike legend Thomas Frischknecht ventured up to 3610 meters above sea level. Our product presentation "Absolutely Dry" shows how mountain bikers can keep dry in the fall. Bikes from Trek, Scott, Stöckli and Simplon were also tested for the September issue.

The touring section of Ride magazine is peppered with breathtaking pictures. 26.39 kilometers are covered on the longest single trail in the Alps: "From Madritschjoch to Vinschgau".  There are history lessons on the Chinzig Pass in central Switzerland. The route from Brunnen to Flüelen, however, was not always as idyllic as it is now between the mountains. "Over the Glas Pass into the Rhine Gorge" is one of Switzerland's scenic spectacles that locals almost no longer appreciate. The tour report takes an unfamiliar look at the beauty of the Swiss mountains.
