Mauritius Coast to Coast MTB Challenge 2013

[hayleyearth]

So I have a problem.....

 

My eye caught this on Super Cycling the other night and now I am keen to go ride it.

I saw the highlights package last year already and thought it looked like a nice ride.

My problem/battle is some sort of a personal one - once I see something I want to do/have then I can not get my mind around it.

 

So has anyone else considered doing this?

Or done it already?

[MTBeer]

just do it. Buy the ticket then there is no turning back. Last year my arse itched to go ride overseas, so I did some research, got a like-minded mate, got him drunk convinced him and bought a ticket to the Himalayas. 10 great days in the mountains.

We still had families with small kids to leave at home as well.

Do it, you won't be sorry.

[MTBeer]

you're a bit of a down-hiller aren't you? why don't you join Omega Man on one of his Morzine trips rather? would be more your type of riding.

No I am no such thing as a downhiller - I just wear a full face on some trails cause my insurance company advise me to - otherwise my life insurance premiums will go through the roof.

 

I am going to France next year with a bunch of crazy people. That is on the cards already.

 

Itching to do something this year still.

The pricing is weird, R2500 for South Africans, 100 Euro (R1320) for the French, Rs2500 (R640) for Mauritians.

If I go to Mauritius, the only thing I would do is to drink lots of coctail and do as little as possible

That's what I am planning to do from the evening of the 29th of September till the 3rd October

(And be in the warm sun all day)
