I'm going to Lake Garda next month and i'm planning on taking my bike. Anyone know of any sources of good info on decent trail riding round that way?

Ooohh, I went last year. You should have asked.
Whereabouts did you go?
I went to Garda, and rode this:
Great views and nice descent:

It was truly cracking. Turns out the area is a bit of a Mecca for German mtbers, which was a surprise (lots of highly specced these about, which i'd not encountered before). Lots of epic climbs and equally epic decents. That piccy was part of a 1200m decent to the Lake over a distance of about 15km, which included some tricky hairpins around severe drops on loose, limestone gravel and some fairly technical steeps through pine woods. Also some hairily technical decending going on in other parts if you elect to go down the mule tracks rather than fire roads...

Went there a good 10 years ago and had a cracking time. Did manage to fall off more than was reasonable on the freeride trail from the top of the mountain above Malcesine. Looks fantastic. I'll have to go again.

They only sponsor Silence Lotto, you ****.

cripes, we used to go camping at lake garda when i was a nipper every summer but i never would have expected there was such good riding right there!
which exact spot on the lake's circumference were you guys/what was the nearest town? may have to book a revisit!

Most bikers seem to congregate at the northern end of the Lake at Riva. We stayed further up in the mountains at Lake Ledro, to the east of Riva. The place is drenched in fluoro lycra Germans.

Well. It would seem that Rowan Sorrel seems to like the place:
