The Singletrack Nowa Ruda is an MTB trail complex officially opened just 2 days ago. I already visited it yesterday and was really impressed! These are not just easy singletracks for beginners. The trail creators also took care of more experienced riders.

I won’t say it’s the best, because I haven’t gotten to know all the spots in Poland yet, but it’s definitely one of the best. On Ślęża and the neighboring lower Radunia, there are over 20 trails in total. Some are so well-built and so full of features that they can compete with the best trails in bike parks.
The difficulty level of MTB trails is marked with colors, similarly to ski slopes. So we have green, blue, red and black trails. But what does that really mean? How easy are green trails? What can you expect on blue and red ones and how difficult are black ones? The answer to these questions is not simple.
In Wisła and the surrounding area there are several bike parks. Nowa Osada is less crowded than the most popular ones, so even on weekends you can ride here without long queues.
The Czechs know how to build interesting trails! Trutnov Trails are routes that mostly run through rocky terrain, which has been used to create interesting, often challenging features. However, there is no shortage of smooth, flowy sections with perfect berms, and the wide variety of trail difficulties means that everyone can find something for themselves.
Magnetic pedals are designed as a compromise between flat pedals and clipless (SPD) pedals. They are supposed to keep your feet secure on descents while still allowing easy release. It sounded exactly like what I needed.
Spanish bike park 4 Riders is a spot for those who feel confident on fast, flow trails with big jumps. Although there is a blue trail in the bike park, I personally wasn’t impressed with this location.
Just 40 minutes by car from Torrevieja there are two interesting via ferratas. Both have two independent sections: an easier first part and a harder second part. Thanks to this, they can be great fun for families with children who have never tried such attractions before, while at the same time providing thrills for those who already have some experience.
Little Fatra (Malá Fatra) is a mountain range in Slovakia that captivates with its views and the variety of trails. You can find both gentle mountain ridges and rocky peaks, gorges, and waterfalls here.
From time to time, someone dies or suffers serious injuries because, while climbing on an indoor gym, they forgot to clip into the auto belay (e.g., TruBlue). How does it happen that experienced climbers forget such a simple and critically important step? What can we do to protect ourselves from making this mistake?
