Hi!
I don’t know about you, but my adventure riding comes in three sizes.
Small.
Medium.
Large.
The small adventures are a day out on the bike. Sometimes with friends, sometimes solo. Home in time for a shower, dinner and bed. A big dose of the outdoors from my front door.
Medium adventures are overnighters, often in a tent. Maybe a long weekend or a week away if I’m lucky. Riding new trails with friends, maybe a bit of TET, here in the UK. No passport required. Challenging enough to stretch me, but only a breakdown van phone call away from home in an emergency.
Now, large adventures, for me that’s something that requires a passport. Exploration of new lands, different cultures and pointing at menus in a language I don’t understand. Big views, trails and terrain that I don’t get to ride at home. A sense of jeopardy for the duration followed by relief for making it back in one piece. Possible to pull off in a week, but more likely longer.
I have a few emails I would like to send you, all about a medium sized adventure I took part in recently.
They look like this:
- A short trail riding review of the new Himalayan 450.
- The Ride & Hike.
- The Linesman Pant.
The first of these will be with you tomorrow.
In the meantime here’s a little teaser of what to expect.
👌
