Mid-March 2016.
After last year visit in San Remo, this time me and my teammates of 2B Enduro Team have choosen a pleasant, little town called Finale Ligure.
Surely, the most of enduro bikers have heard this name many times, so have we. Therefore we decided to discover it by ourselves.
We haven't been disappointed. The number and quality of routes makes this place real enduro biking paradise.
Basically, the most interesting place is the pass Melogno. There begin the several alternative routes of varyed difficulty.
However, one thing should be noted. There is no easy routes, especially for beginners. All tracks are really demanding.
Having the most of experience biking in the forest's litter of Beskidy mountains (South Poland), struggles with solid rocks are really exciting.
Let's start with the highest peak we have reached - Base NATO.
We left Poland looking for the sun and we met snow again.
Then we ride the Rollercoaster which offers picturesque panorama of Ligurian landscape.
The best known of Rollercoaster.
One of the best tracks in Finale is Toboga. Here upper part.
Toboga, part 3. Just awesome.
After long day on tracks, we enjoy warm evening discussing the best of the day with glass of Italian wine.
Discovering of Kill Bill track to Calice Ligure.

Getting back from the valley Isallo to the top of mountains.
Somewhere in the Ligurian forest.
And last run of our squad to Isolla.
A week spent in those mountains of Ligurian Alps should be enough for even the most demanding riders to meet their needs.
Another issue are possibilities offered by Italian cuisine. I guess it is not necessary to talk too much about this
Cooking is our another passion.
If we only have an opportunity, we definitely will come back there as soon as possible.
