Monday, November 15, 2010. One of the things I have really missed here in Pokhara is running.

On this visit we started discussing...

We never climbed above 2700masl on the trip though, but the total climb during our mountain biking trip in Eastern Nepal was 9540 meters so if you take away challenges related to altitude, snow (we did have a lot of mud though) and weather conditions we are almost there (or?
