Poets and Donkeys


We are back down in Delhi after our 1st taste of Uttarakhand singletrack of 2013. 7 days of great riding in the lower level Himalaya riding up to 2800 meters with magical views of the Himalaya.

So inspiring was the riding that one lady who we met on our travels was compelled to write a poem about our adventures. We met her pre ride on the balcony of our hotel in Khausanhi. She introduced herself as a writer and a poet from West Bengal and with two books published so far. Here are her words below.

21 days now for exploring some new trails and hopefully a dedicated DH/Enduro trail centre featuring the latest in donkey uplift technology. So will report back on the progress of Moti and Burra our trainee donkey uplift team and let you know how they get on with the bag of Delhi carrots and advice on how to correctly carry DH/Enduro Bikes.

A couple of pics here by Dan Milner, watch out for MBUK on Uttarakhand coming soon.

We are still looking at teaming up Trek as our official bike provider for 2013/2014 so expect us to be plugging their bikes all over the place if that comes through.


The Bikers By Shreya

Cycle wheels
The gushing winds
Thoughts of the trail
Rolling over the
pages of our
open book.
Memories of 
loved and sweet
souls shores apart
Our hearts thunder
At the call of the
Misty mountains.
