I'm now 2 days away from leaving for the next challenge.. the highest race in the world.. Yak Attack, organised by Phil Evans of Extreme World Challenges. (http://www.extremeworldchallenges.com)
I'm getting pretty good at this packing lark now... well I hope I am... I'm finding It hard as always to get excited about what lies ahead and I know I won't relax until me, my bike and my luggage are safely in Kathmandu.
But every now and then between the constant organising I get a chance to look forward to the riding ahead... this is the roof of the world.. riding unlike anything I have done to date.. not only will I have to battle the competition, the climbs, pushing the single gear I am going to have to get involved with a totally new problem... altitude... can I literally breath thin air?? 2 weeks from now I guess I'll have an answer.

good luck
good luck paul!...
Man, a couple of weeks after you've done a -30 degree, 32 hour race you're doing this high altitude, cold, hilly race. You sadomasicist.
I'd have to stay off the bike for a year after the arrowhead race.
Thanks all..
Yeah i expect its gonna hurt alot as my hands are still crap after Arrowhead but it'll buy me a month or so off the bike afterwards till i need to suffer again :)
