Le Creste
Description
The tour starts at Bordighera beach. Here you have to ride a short distance on the main road to Ospedaletti. The route then climbs very steeply up a tarmac road to Coldirodi and on towards San Romolo: after about 11 kilometers of leisurely steep tarmac ascent, turn left up a gravel road towards Colle Termini di Bajardo. From here you are already on the well-marked trail "Le Creste". The trail continues up Le Creste for about 2 kilometers before the first descent begins. This is followed by a few crisp counter-climbs, but these are only short. Now you ride down the trail, which is steep and rocky in places. The difficulty level is up to S3. Beware, you may encounter enduro motorcyclists. At the end of Le Creste, you continue along a washed-out fort road over bare rock. After a few hairpin bends, you come to a gravel trail - here, too, there is bare rock. Nevertheless, the whole thing is good and easy to ride. The route continues steeply down to Bordighera with a magnificent view over the sea.

Background to Ride MTB
Ride MTB is dedicated to mountain biking. With the maps Ride Trail Maps and Trail Books and the print magazine Ride, it has played a formative role in alpine mountain biking for many years and has shaped it like few other organizations.
In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.

The brains behind Ride MTB

A beautiful ridge trail—don’t let the “Blue Cross-Country Trail” signage mislead you: There are frequent side paths off the main trail, some of which have been rutted by motocross bikes. The difficulty level ranges from S2 to S3. A signposted panoramic trail circles Monte Nero to the southeast—it’s very scenic and includes a section where you’ll need to push your bike uphill. The locals drive up by car and ride the trails at the top, though not all of them are currently well-maintained. But that might also be because I was there in the summer, which isn’t the season for riding here.
