I would love to take part in this cycle challenge to raise awareness and funds to support the Save the Rhino Trust in Namibia. Imagine cycling for 7 days in the remoteness of Northern Namibia's Damaraland! Cycling can't get much better and more purposeful than this. I would gladly wear K-Way gear all the way doing this challenge...

Alto de Letras, the longest climb on Earth! Its an 80km monster in Columbia, elevation change of about 3800m. Thats an average gradient of 4%, which may not seem like a lot, but for 80km it must be quite a grind!
An average time for the climb is around 5 hours. This is the ideal place for any decent cyclist to go and test their mettle, I know I would kill for the chance!
For a good blog entry and pictures of the beautiful scenery, check out the following link:

Morzine, French Alps

...and I'll get to live the dream in 2 months from now :D

After that trip... I'll start dreaming of the next place!

EDIT: Oh yes, and I need mens k-way stuff because naked cycling is frowned upon.

I would LOVE to do the BC Bike race in Columbia, Canada.

Obviously having the right K-Way gear would make it even better!

(Ladies category)

(If i'd known how to post pics and videos on the hub, i would have... :blush: ) The links will have to do for now...

The Dolomites in Italy: It’s hard to play favourites with mountain ranges. They’re all stunning in their own special way but if I had to pick just one, the pink, craggy Dolomites in northern Italy would get my vote. Nowhere else compares just for the sheer choice of 2,000+ metre peaks on offer and how better to fuel your climb than with a scoop of gelato or a shot of espresso from the local cafe? All riding here is great but particularly the stunning Seiser Alm, the largest Alpine meadows in all of Italy. How to see it: If you’re feeling flush, base yourself in the posh resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo (camping is an option for those on a budget) and spend every day exploring a new road to the mountains all around. Further west, Bolzano also makes a fine base for climbing the peaks and is right on the magnificent Via Claudia bike path that leads south to Trento.
After looking at many areas that I would love to cycle,the French Alps being one,this one really caught my attention.

Its not only where you ride but who you ride with.  Even an amble up the Spruit can be a great ride if the company is good.
