In this serving we’ve got all the seasons, everything from springtime trail scouting with Trans Provence to Yeti in the Colorado fall.

FRESH INGREDIENTS /// MAVIC® TRANS-PROVENCE SPRINGTIME TRAIL SCOUTING

Itinerary scouting for the Mavic® Trans-Provence Enduro race starts every Spring as soon as the trails are clear of snow. Enduro racing through a wilderness environment is arguably the purest form of mountain biking discovery. Here is how we the organisers go about providing the geographical part of that experience.

Peak Season – Fall in Colorado

Like every other season, fall is pretty magical in the Colorado high country. By the end of summer, cool winds are already moving over the mountains and the peaks are getting dusted with snow. The aspens shed their leaves, covering the trails in red and gold, and morning frosts dampen the dry summer dirt. Add it all together, and it means several weeks of absolutely prime singletrack—sticky, colorful, and emptied of the summertime foot traffic. It was in search of those conditions that we headed into the mountains with our SB66s and a checklist of our favorite trails.
