Tirol :
Check out the local runs. Some of my own finding. Many very steep and technical. A day with 1000meters of uphill and small steep rocky rooty trails is normal around these parts. The chance to get the ski lift to 2020Meters (from700) or to put your bike on the bus is the way to get more downhill meters in than uphill ones.



Old 2006

New school vs. old school
Those days and these days. Biking was always fun, but New school rules !!!! With the new light, full suspension bikes, things have come a long way from the days of tight lycra and hard bikes.

nepal :
Some great riding to be done in Pokara Nepal. Even the possibility to do a four day
downhill from Muktinath to Beni. Biking in the Kathmandu valley is also popular but for me the pollution is too much for me to want to try.

india

Some years ago I was traveling around south India and had the amazing idea of buying a standard bike and going for a ride. The bike looked very like the one in the picture, and the ride ended up being from Mysore to Calicut, I was not in a hurry and with side trips was on the road for two weeks. The bike cost only €40 new and I managed to sell it for €20 afterwards. I highly recomend anybody to try this, a wonderful and different way to see India.

 

marrokko : Myself and Steve Hall flew to Agadir and done some biking on the edge of the Sahara desert, hot, hot, hot. Tafaroute, Blue rocks, etc,.

 

australia : Whilst living and working in far north Queensland I had another brilliantly mad biking idea. I had taken my bike with me from England, had been working for some time as a river guide and decided it was time for some adventure. In those days it was a four-wheel-only road from Cairns up to Cooktown with many croc infested river crossings and other Australian dangers. The trip was awesome, the thing that got me was biking back on the inland road, a road with absolutly no change of itself or of the scenery around for 70 km was almost too much. The area around Palmerston North has an interesting history from the gold rush days.....

 

general biking rules : responsible biking ??? and ethics.....
