October is the perfect season to visit Finale Ligure.  The temperatures of air and seawater are still decent and about the same level and the trails are usually in good shape.  The EWS final in early October probably contributes to a certain degree to the great trail conditions.   Anyway, my 6th trip to Finale was marvelous again. This time the crew was a bit more downhill oriented, so the vertical meters downhill were multiple times the uphill meters and we enjoyed most of Finale’s brillant signature trails: Rollercoaster, Sentiero H, Madre Natura, Crestino, Little Champery, Oribago and the Downhills to Varigotti.  Finale simply is the MTB-mecca in Europe.
