Riding High With Altitude In The Himalayas ... Mtb Himachal 2006
Dear everybody,
Here are the details for the Himalayan Enduro
Village backroads, jeep tracks, singletrack … There are medics and marshals on motorbikes, apples & bananas on beverage halts, and as you’d expect of the Himalayas, lots of ups and downs (A staggering 12,000 meters of elevation gain) with the great vistas. MTB HIMACHAL 2006, 9 days of enduro riding, a test of strength and determination”.
MTB HIMACHAL 2006, the second edition of India’s first Mountain Cycling ride and race would commence from 4th October and finish on 13th October. The event would be flagged off from Shimla, the capital of the Indian Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh and finish at Manali, the popular tourist destination in the lap of the Himalayan ranges of Bara Banghal and the central Lahaul massif. The second edition of the challenging ride promises to be bigger, better and exciting. Nine days of Classic Mountain biking through interior trails of the Himalayan Foothills in Himachal Pradesh. The total kilometers of the course this year have increased; there is the grandeur of exquisite Himalayan Vistas, the magnificence of deep forests of Pinus Roxburghii, Oak, Horse Chestnuts and Himalayan Cedars through which the trails wind their way, there is the sheer sense of triumph and contentment, there are moments of wilderness in solitude, there you are stretching your limitations crossing Himalayan passes, pedaling high, reaching altitudes of 3600mts and as you mountain hop through the happy course it’s a surprising 12,000 meters of total climbing (total elevation gain) through the gruesome, challenging 9 days totaling an even more surprising 650 kilometers. The course winds its way through singletrack, doubletrack, and broken tarmac, tarmac and sometimes just footpaths. There are long downhills and grueling uphills, as there are straight stretches, there are sections of hike and bike, and there are fast paced gravel roads. There is a lil’ bit of everything for riders of all initiations (Mountain Bikers, Road Riders etc), just not dirt roads and singletracks. We look forward to great days of pedaling through the mountains, where one has enough time to soak in the autumn sunshine and the great Himalayan scenery. It is still a race however it is more of the Himalayan outdoors, which score over time and competition. We do like to make it tough and grueling, so one has to be reasonably fit and understand the only timeless things are courage, stamina, endurance, resolve and determination and you would need these in huge reserves, if planning to have a great time exploring yourself pedaling through the Himalayas. It is about passion and it is about mountains, it is about the riders as much as it is about the ride. MTB HIMACHAL 2006 awaits all willing to discover and ride high. Let the Himalayas see you through.
