Welcome to the URT Blog
27 Jun 2011
The Ultimate Road Trip through the European Alps. 2 months, 5 Countries, 19 Bike Parks and a shed-load of brake pads, this will be one awesome journey that we hope will inform and entertain along the way.
This summer we are hitting the road to check out some of the best of the European Bike Parks. The classic 'Road Trip' has never been done on a scale like this before, and from the end of June we will be blogging, Facebooking and Tweeting our way around some of the best lift accessed trails in the world.
The WorldBikeParks Team will be on location at numerous bike parks and events throughout the summer, meeting local riders, riding the trails, and taking some awesome pics thanks to the support of the WorldBikeParks professional photographer. If you see us on site then come and say hi and we'll do our best to get some great images of you riding too! Check out the URT dates and map to see where we'll be.
