Imagine: you’re in an awesome mountain bike area and you want to ride thé best trails. What do you do? You buy a map or download some trails on your GPS and off you go. The trails are just sick, they fit your level, got great scenery and perfect downhill runs. A perfect day! Well, not always…..
When traveling to another bikespot you go to places you’ve never been before. These spots require other skills. If you have trouble to read the maps, and we mean: understand the maps, a daytrip can turn out in your worst nightmare ever! Trails who don’t fit your fitness level, you miss the most beautifull places or the trip takes much longer because the trail is much more technical as you thought!
Good to know there’s a solution for that: Supertrails Map! These maps with a 1:50.000 scale let you experience the coolest trails and give you all the information you need to know before riding this trail. The trail lines show perfect what to expect: do you need to bike uphill or let your brakes go and take a technical downhill. The color of the lines provides you all the information you need. The icons give you extra information about scenery, danger, bakeshops, etc.
Supertrail Maps are just great tools to make the most of your trip! Sometimes I recomend to add also an 1:25.000 map in some areas, just for the smaller trails.
Supertrail Maps are available for the best European mountain bike areas, and there are more to come. The maps are lightweight and water repellent, just what we bikers need.
From 2012 we’re going to use these maps ourselves, and I think we might find trails we never rode before. The participanten on our biketrip are going to use these maps as well.
