We have already completed the first three of our planned overseas adventure challenges. In April 2006 I took 13 riders, aged from 39 to 67 to China to ride to the amazing Tiger Leaping Gorge. You can read more about this completed adventure by clicking HERE . In 2007 I returned to China with a larger group of 15 riders to complete an alternate route to Tiger Leaping Gorge. The story of that trip can be found HERE. In 2008 we returned to China with our biggest group yet to ride the famous Limestone Trail from Guilin. You can read about that trip HERE
In 2009 we completed two new adventures. The first one involved 27 participants in two teams travelling to Nepal for a challenging trek to Kopra Ridge in the Himalayas. You can read the account here . Later in 2009 19 participants travelled to Europe for a ride along the Danube from Passau through to Budapest. Along the way we passed through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. You can read the account of that trip here
Most of us never realise just what we are capable of achieving until we are put to the test - than what an amazing feeling of accomplishment you get when the goal is achieved. It might not be as spectacular as climbing Mt Everest, but for each of us there is our own "Everest" to conquer. For some it might be the first time overseas or the first time exposed to a different culture. All adventures combine a physical challenge with an emotional challenge - but the rewards can be life changing.
In 2010 we will be setting off to South America to complete a combination trekking and cycling trip in the high Andes. We will also be visiting Argentina and Uruguay. This will be our longest and most ambitious trip so far tackled.
In 2011 it will be back to Europe to complete a longer ride from the Black Forest region of Germany through to Vienna , then from Prague through to Dresden.
In all of our overseas tours (almost) everything is provided, including air fares, accomodation, most meals, bicycle hire, support vehicle, expert guide, etc. The cost is remarkably inexpensive when you consider what you get for the money.
So many spend all their lives dreaming of taking an adventure but then spend even longer thinking of reasons why they can't do it. Step out of the comfort zone and do something that could change your life forever.
