Nepalese Mountain Bike Adventure (April 7th, 2007) - Text Hans Rey, Photos: Blake Jorgenson

Whilst sitting on another plane, I have time to reflect and write about the epic two weeks of adventure biking on freeride mountain bikes in Nepal, shredding some of the best trekking routes in the world; with none other than freeride legends Richie Schley and Wade Simmons. Joining us on bikes were photographer Blake Jorgenson and our english film-crew with cameraman Rob Summers and his assistant Seb Rogers who documented this trip for a new TV series by ProActive TV.

Berghaus Yak Attack 2008 concluded with great success on March 16th. Kaji Sherpa won the second Yak Attack that was held from 8-16 March 2008 between Besi Sahar of Lamjung district to Beni Bazaar of Myagdi. There were total 23 participants including four professional nepali women cyclist. Extreme World Challenges-UK with support from Berghaus-UK, Dawn Till Dusk mountain biking-Kathmandu, Nepal Cycling Association (NCA), Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP, Nepal), Torq-UK, started this challenging race last year.

Kazi Sherpa finished the 240km stretch in 20 hours and 52 minutes. More detailed reports are avilable at www.yak-attack.co.uk. Extreme World Challenges UK and Dawn Till Dusk Mountain Bike Trekking is thankful to all the participants and supporters without whose help and support this event could not have been possible.
