Our swiss friends from Endless Gap went to the Tuscany and brought back a bunch of beautiful photos. Enjoy!

Since the winter in Switzerland seems to be never ending this year, we decided to finally kick off the 2013 season by heading south to the beautiful Tuscany in Italy. One week full of epic trails, endless pumptrack sessions, warm temperatures and of course, delicious food.

We all felt like little kids playing in a sandbox in this spot. Everyone was discovering different lines all over the place.
