Village riders, first and foremost<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

An MTB association born in Rocchetta Nervina, founded by people who grew up on these trails.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Our story<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

From Sunday rides to an MTB association<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Four things we believe in<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

These are the reasons we meet every week, in the saddle or with pruning shears in hand.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Sport<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We like to go fast, but also to go slow and look around.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Trail care<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We clear and repair the trails we use. Without maintenance, they vanish in a few winters.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Hinterland<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Stone villages, olive trees, chestnut groves and streams. What you can't see from the coast.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Community<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Members, locals and guests. Anyone who rides with us once often comes back, and brings someone along.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
