/ About us
Village riders, first and foremost
An MTB association born in Rocchetta Nervina, founded by people who grew up on these trails.
Our story
From Sunday rides to an MTB association
At first there were only a few of us heading up to the ridges. Then friends of friends joined in, and people from outside started asking us to take them along.
We founded an association to do things properly: insurance, trained guides, checked bikes. The spirit has stayed the same: we set off from the square and eat in the village at the end of the day.
Even in the mud, in autumn
Four things we believe in
These are the reasons we meet every week, in the saddle or with pruning shears in hand.
01
Sport
We like to go fast, but also to go slow and look around.
02
Trail care
We clear and repair the trails we use. Without maintenance, they vanish in a few winters.
03
Hinterland
Stone villages, olive trees, chestnut groves and streams. What you can't see from the coast.
04
Community
Members, locals and guests. Anyone who rides with us once often comes back, and brings someone along.
Where we are

“If you use a trail, it's a little bit yours to look after.”
