On March 1, 2007, approximately 21 mountain bikers, racers and officials congregated in Besi Sahar, not far away from beautiful lake city of Pokhara in Nepal, all vying for the title of "KING/QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAINS" in the inaugural running of Yak Attack. 
The event which has attracted mainly British and Nepalese contingent, is set to decide the long standing dilemma of who is the fastest over a varied mountainous terrain, foot or bike. Starting at 800m, all competitors climb over four and a half days of 5416meter to cross the Thorungla Pass. Up to this point it appeared though that the runners may have an advantage over the MTB'ers, who had to push/carry their bikes over some technical sections and endure a four hour carry to cross the pass. |
