Hi Steve

It was a great experience, thanks very much for organising.

Riding in Nepal was a cultural and physical experience far removed from anything I have encountered in South Africa. The food and people were great, and the riding was fantastic – lots of challenging climbs, secret single-track and breathtaking views. Kathamandu is a cauldron of mad activity which is balanced out by the tranquility and beauty of the surrounding hills. In the distance the Himalayas rise into the horizon and don’t escape the eye-line in any direction, leaving one with a quiet sense of relief that it is not those ascents one is climbing! Nepal is certainly a mountain biking destination that one has to experience in a lifetime.

Cheers
