In this issue, a little-known route to Piz Scalottas near Lenzerheide, the high-alpine super tour over Sefinafurgga and the pre-alpine classic to Napf are presented in the best light.

Epic is a buzzword for many mountain bikers, and nobody knows exactly what it is. Until you've ridden the tour over the Sefinafurgga and the Blüemlisalphütte. Here it becomes clear what the buzzword actually means. You can read more about this tour in the April issue of Ride. But also about the little-known route up the Piz Scalottas near Lenzerheide with the descent down to Thusis. Or the legendary tour over the Napf, which can be quite epic with good Alpine views. And for all those for whom it is still too cold north of the Alps in spring - Ride has discovered the next trail hotspot in Sardinia.

In addition to the tour reports, the April issue features a major report on what mountain biking has to do with development aid in third world countries. It is not uncommon for the coffee beans that form the basis for the up-and-coming coffee culture in mountain biking to come from these countries. In the April issue, Ride investigated the phenomenon of the coffee hype.

Bike and accessory tests are of course just as much a part of the April 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 02/2019: above-average quality pictures, a loving design and a varied lounge with lots of interesting and unusual news from the world of mountain biking.
