Mountain biking could exist
without mountains, but what
visit to the mountains feels
right without a mountain bike?
Big peaks, deep valleys, long
descents and panoramic vistas
are inextricably part of what
makes mountain biking great.
Images and stories from high
places draw us in, as bikes and
riders are dwarfed by the scale of
the landscape in which they play.The Alpine Issue celebrates big
mountains, and
Australia’s alpine areas are alive
in summer with people who enjoy
the outdoors by bike and by foot.Big rides in these places leave us
more vulnerable but also reward
the planning and preparation.
Whether you’re considering a trip
to one of the great alpine bike
parks, or looking to put together
something even more epic – read
on and enjoy our Alpine Issue.WORDS: NEIL MARTIN
