Mountain Biking in the Kathmandu Valley

Yesterday and today were big festival days today for the Hindu people and there were many celebrations.

Both days I rented a mountain bike and road out if the city and into the surrounding valleys. I was able to ride for about 6 hours yesterday and 7 today. Lots of hard work but extremely rewarding with the amazing views and the ability to meet many friendly Nepali people.

I've included a couple of pictures of the little green guy and the Kimberly Lane Coyote with my bike helmet.

A cool picture of some of the farm fields we rod through.

Finally, a picture of a giant swing made from 4 huge bamboo poles tied together and a really tall swing in the middle. Even the adults will go in them. The swings are built throughout Kathmandu by the hundreds and are only up for a couple of days for the festival and then are taken down until next year. Pretty cool.
