This ranges from escaping to the southern hemisphere to deliberate bike denial. Each strategy is described in an original way and provided with lots of tips and background information so that you can start thinking about it as soon as the magazine is published. And a little ironic wink is also included.

Despite all the winter strategies, anyone who wants to can also set off on attractive single trail tours in Switzerland and nearby countries in winter. Southern exposures and foehn winds allow plenty of flow and sometimes unexpectedly warm temperatures even in January. All you need to know is where to find these fun makers. In its September issue, Ride presents eight such attractive singletrail tours, as usual with impressive pictures and detailed route descriptions.

With the first days of fall, this season is slowly coming to an end, and with it, Ride's winter break is also coming into sight. Just in time for the start of the 2017 season, Ride will be back with its next issue. At its core, Ride remains true to itself: in 2017, the magazine will once again present the most beautiful tour reports from the Alps, exciting background reports and breathtaking images. With five issues, the magazine guides readers through the bike season, always with its finger on the pulse. Even if there won't be a paper edition of Ride for a few months, there will be a replacement: the editors will stay on the ball and provide fresh news from the world of mountain biking on Ride.ch every day.
