Often as a rider, the summer season is busy and it’s hard to connect a group of friends for a rad trip. Everybody has their own schedule and things to do, either racing, working, family holidays or just chilling at the beach.
For this reason, planning a fall experience in the mountains is often the best opportunity to end the riding season on a high note.

For this year I invited Pauline Dieffenthaler, Hugo Pigeon and Damien Oton with their Ebikes in the search of the best singletrack and landscapes of the Queyras guided by Cyril Ac’h.

The goal of these few days in the mountains is simple: to ride as many trails as possible, check out the best views and spend some good stress-free times together. Ride and explore.

During our stay we also joined the local riders for a trail maintenance day in collaboration with the council of Guillestrois-Queyras. We all agree that all users, not only Mountainbiker are having an impact on trails and for a sustainable way of riding it’s important to take our part in the maintenance of those paths. This is key if we want to keep enjoying this trail in the long term. Enjoy and respect.

We got treated with some mindblowing fall colors


When it’s time to leave the area, we all know how lucky we were to experience our time in Queyras surrounded by those mountains, trails and friends. But we are also leaving with a new dilemma

Should we comeback for the same trip next year or start planning a new trip somewhere else with the same crew?

 This is a really well made video highlighting some beautiful scenery and talented riders! However, please keep in mind that trails will not remain a secret when 10 minute long videos are posted of them on the internet. It took me less than 10 minutes to find the ridgeline trail at 1:38 in the video using the footage for reference.

 All rocking the ebikes. Ebikes look like a good choice for big mountain riding when having to tackle tons of miles and elevation.

 And when you get sponsored for using them.

Also how to recharge them?
I´ve seen the battery bikes of other pros being charged by the mountain huts diesel generator.


But using Ebikes for getting there for trail maintenance is a good use case.
