Mountain biking and travelling go hand in hand. For many of us, in the beginning mountain biking was about going places in the mountains, using a bike for transport and discovering new and cool places. When you have ridden everything in your backyard, then it's time to go and explore other backyards. I've run a small bike travel business for about 15 years and the enjoyment of exploring new countries, riding different trails and experiencing other cultures never fades, plus the buzz you get from showing others a good time, makes the humping of bike bags and excess baggage well worth the effort.
