“A Bunch of Idiots in the Woods” – RAAW Summit 2024

At least once a year, we bring the entire RAAW family together—team, ambassadors, and racers alike. When most of your contact is through emails or video calls, there’s no better way to build real connections than by hitting the trails together. This year, we explored the fantastic trails around RAAW HQ in the Palatinate Forest. Check out the report and video from the RAAW Summit 2024 here.

Travel Report: Crossing the Alps with the Madonna

It’s no secret that our Madonna thrives on challenging alpine trails. But how does it perform on a 6-day alpine crossing from Füssen to Riva del Garda? RAAW Ambassador Luca took on the challenge and shares his adventures in this article.

As always, have fun on the trails and thanks for your support!

Cheers
