The most striking part of travelling is the connection you can find with another place that makes it feel like home. When Kathryn had the idea to do a bike trip, I don’t think we realised how much of our feeling of home was linked to our bikes. Here we are in the middle of the Himalayas, a mountain range that is three times as high as our peaks back in Revelstoke, British Columbia, and we are leaning into the corners and pumping the features in these trekking trails like they were made for riding bikes. Being in Nepal is breathtaking, but riding the terrain takes it to another level.
