Shebeen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Ten out of ten for me. #1: Build a Bike My SS started life with me as an abandoned frame outside a london tube station. Most parts scrounged from spares to make the complete bike. #2: Ride At Night I LOVE riding at night, first time would have been in stellenbosch where we used to go to Eden with our homebuilt pvc/leadacid/downlighter contraptions.Singletrack in tokai is a privilige at night.There's not much you can tell adventure racers about night riding, brings a new meaning to falling asleeep at the wheel #3: Ride in Snow Did this in whistler. bought myself a mongoose duallie from the mtb club spring bikeswap. Only the trails at low altitude had started melting, so plenty of cross country ski trails to fool around on – normally to get around town as shortcuts. It wasn’t such an attraction, but snowbiking on actual fat bikes does look like something to do if you life in a really cold cold place. #4: Ride in another country Ridden mtb trails in US, Canada, UK, Austria and Swaziland. Transkei felt foreign enough to count #5: Sleep next to your bike Well as a biketourer this is the standard. #6: Explore a new Trail Too many to mention, I organise adventure races so do this all the time. #7: Cross a mountain rangePlenty of hike a bike been done in adventure races/freedom challenge. First real epic mtb tour I did was with the BTK in matieland. We rode from Stellenbosch to pringle bay via grabouw, discovered groenlandberg for the first time (rigid Rincon with borrowed cleats that I was still learning how to use) #8: Ride a raceTick. (but not THAT race, no stickers on my bike) #9: Visit a Bikepark Have ridden whistler bike park and some lift access trails in Austria. Not using the right bike, so this one needs a definite revisit. #10: ride to the Sea Been done loads of times. My #11 would be get a one way ticket and ride home. #12 teach someone your Mtb skills Edited December 4, 2013 by Shebeen cat-i and jcmeyerSS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted December 4, 2013 Share Ten out of ten for me. Did a ski season in whistler that dragged into spring. Riding in snow requires beeeg tyres if you actually want to enjoy it. Sorted myself with a touring set up and went north to the Yukon after a summer in Vancouver. Suppose freedom challenge would tick the mountain range box. Don't quite understand the ride to the sea one,I live next to it so it's easy. Nice. If I was leaving school now my ideal gap year would be spent in a ski resort/bike park. Spend the ski season working. spend the spring building trails with the locals. Spend the summer in the bikepark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a joberg2c and see what the hype is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted December 4, 2013 Share I think a visit to france could tick all threeRide in Another CountryBike ParkRide in the Snow(if you climb high enough surely there will some snow even if its just a meter or so) Oh and Jcmeyer...please correct your post....WE will be building your niner, no YOU Edited December 4, 2013 by rouxtjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted December 4, 2013 Share Come to think of it, does a skibob count as a Ride in Snow.http://coloradotravelmaster.com/images/snowbike-2.PNGhttp://caspost.com/wp-content/uploads/1971/05/caspost.com-Skibobbing.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a trail centre but it's not a bikepark. If you go early enough there's snow on the deck at the top of Mosettes between Morzine and Champery. Should I give you my banking details?
