Having just returned home after my trip to Nepal, I have to ask myself ‘why did I wait so long to go’. This was an amazing trip with equally amazing biking, views and people. I didn’t know what to expect and I want to say a BIG thanks to HMB and your team for seeing such a great week of biking completed from start to finish, whilst attending to all the details. |
