Peru trip featured in UK mag

We're flattered here at Big Mountain, What Mountain Bike magazine from the UK just printed a 7-page feature on our Peru Incredible Andes all-mountain trip. We are pumped! "If you're after high adrenalin, high mountain riding with a colourful culture for a backdrop, then the Peruvian Andes are hard to beat," says journalist Jason Sumner. We could not have said it any better. This trip is seriously worldclass and a must for any mountain biker. Get some friends together and get in touch with us!

Start Here: Bike Magazine

Grab a copy of the latest Bike Magazine and see Big Mountain owner Chris Winter scoping a new trail in Switzerland in the Start Here column. "This section of trail is after a rediculously long and fun downhill," says Winter, " you feel like you're hanging from the cliff's ledge and then you pop around the last corner and ride past a shrine with a cross and mini-sized Jesus on it and lit candles all around. Did I just see that? It's kind of surreal."

A few of Bike Editor Lou Mazzante's words from Start Here: "As we head into winter and start looking for new gear and dreaming of new trails to ride, keep in mind that the act of riding a mountain bike is so much greater than its component parts. It is inherently fun, implicitly adventurous and often best enjoyed with good company."
