The Alps are the go-to destination for many mountain biking Brits each summer, and I often find myself looking at other peoples Instagrams feeds with envy when they are out there.
Ben Jones had invited me out to join himself and a few others from the Deviate crew on a weeklong trip in the Alps. Ben has guided the Alps for many years before going full time with Deviate and as a result he has a vast knowledge of the Alps in general.
This trip was to include some of the very best trails and routes that he had discovered and his time in the Alps.
Today's video features a trail called Spineology, its location will remain a secret, but I was free to make a video to show you guys what it entails.
As you will see, this trail is incredible, with some of the most unusual terrain I've ever seen. Add to rain so incredible to look at, but so terrifying to ride at the same time.
Again, this was just the first day and this is the Trail we started with! Incredible!
