Ponte di Legno is a tranquil place. Just a few cubes of houses, as if pushed together by two steep valley sides. A mountain stream gushes over small steps around the houses. Less than 2000 inhabitants go about their daily business here. People know each other, greet each other and sometimes avoid a dog that has lain down in the alley to sunbathe. The village at the foot of the Adamello mountains really is an idyll - and that is exactly what mutates into a highway to hell on 22 July 2010.
At half past seven that morning, Angus Young will shake the walls of the village centre. The AC/DC guitar will pierce the limbs of the villagers like a dagger and shake the dusty adrenalin in their veins. Even the village elder will rush to the window and look down on a brightly coloured cobblestone pavement of helmets. Then he will tear open the window and shout "Forza!" enthusiastically. Italians are just cycling enthusiasts.
This year, Ponte di Legno will be the stage venue for the CRAFT BIKE Transalp for the first time. But the villagers know all about mass starts and deafening music. In 2008, the neighbouring Val di Sole already hosted the Mountain Bike World Championships and once a year, hundreds of bikers race up and down the green mountain slopes at the Adamello Bike Marathon. Always cheered on by enthusiastic spectators. Word gets around quickly. Great atmosphere, fantastic trails and magnificent panoramas.

You can now find the GPS data for all the tours presented in BIKE in the professional tour portal of bike-gps.com. The data was created with pinpoint accuracy in high-resolution satellite maps and will also be available as RichTracks in future. For you, this means: no more procedures! For us, it means a considerable amount of extra work.
That's why this service will have a price in future, but at 3 cents per kilometre, it's absolutely affordable.
From now on, you will receive this for every tour:
1. very precise and well-maintained GPS data
2. all waypoints of a tour
3. road book with arrow symbols and all tour data
4. very precise elevation profile with information on the terrain All this is conveniently stored in a single file.
You can also order the corresponding digital maps (1.8 cents per square kilometre). You will receive these directly in the RichTrack file (double-click on the file to open the map and RichTrack simultaneously in the RichTrack software).
IMPORTANT: To open the data, please download our free RichTrack Factory software, which can be downloaded free of charge from bike-gps.com. With the software you can view and print the roadbook and elevation profile and load the GPS tracks and waypoints onto all common GPS devices (Garmin, VDO, MyNav, Xplova).
We wish you lots of fun with the new touring system from BIKE and bike-gps.com
