Surviving Nepal On a Bike
Great write up. I crossed the Tilicho Pass on a bike on 2004, in October. We also had snow, but not so much and we were able to cross the pass, even if it took us 12 hours of pushing the bikes through the snow and some porters got snowblind. The biggest difference to you guys were the porters with the camp and warm clothes.
I'm happy you are ok.

Opinion: Dear America
Wragg vs. rest of the world. After Germany, now America. Who's next?

Siblings in Switzerland: Ticino Trip Report
Nice to see my home trails being appreciated. Next time try this http://www.strava.com/activities/129097377
And, btw, the capanna tamaro climb is completely ridable even with a 160mm bike ;-)

EWS Race Report - Chile
I cannot edit my post, I'd like to add what you wrote:
The sport needs Germany to be involved, as it's such a huge market, but until a strong national race scene develops in Germany, we're not likely to see a German in the top ten in the near future.

EWS Race Report - Chile
Matt, Germany has its own enduro series (http://www.enduroseries.net/de/Zeitplan), so like Italy does. And, as an Italian, I can tell you enduro is alive and kicking in Italy. But, if you take the EWS top 20, you will find Lupato in 2013 and nobody in Chile EWS 2014. Does this mean enduro racing does not exist in Italy?
What about Canada, US, Spain, Austria? It looks like only France is eligible as an enduro country. That's the reason why I think your comment (and that in the previous article, not in your name, so Telem, this is not personal - btw I know Matt and I come along with him quite well) has no real fundament.

EWS Race Report - Chile
Quite strange to read again such a BS about the Zermans. Matt Wragg, next week go to the garda bike festival and take a look at the guys that fill up every shuttle. Or ride up (yes uphill! It does exist, in some places) to Monte Tremalzo and choose one of the rocky trails downhill. Or maybe what you mean is that riding bikes on trails is just mountain biking, but if you are sort of racing it becomes "enduro".

The First Day of School - Enduro World Series, Round 1
the comment about the Germans is pure BS. What about the Italians: there are also only 3 of them in Chile, and still Superenduro is probably the most well known enduro series in Europe.

20 To Watch In 2014 - EWS 2014 Preview
I'd love to see Manuel winning but realistically speaking Renè has more chances to win or, if you have to choose an Italian guy, Alex Lupato.
Manuel prove me wrong!
