Lino Vergura

I've always been passionate about mountain biking. I obtained my Mountain Biking Instructor diploma from the Italian Cycling Federation (F.C.I.) in 2017 and the MTB Guide and Cycling Tour Guide diploma from F.C.I. in 2022. I'm in love with the Lombard Prealps and know most of the trails, suitable for both beginners and experts. My goal is to ensure that everyone can enjoy mountain biking safely and have fun doing it.
