With summer winding down, there’s no better time to plan a weekend mountain bike getaway for the fall!<br />
Unlike the big ski resorts, these<a href="http://bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank"> mountain biking</a> getaways typically
offer lower rates, a more laid back vibe, and amenities and services
that even the big guys can’t match. Plus, most–if not all–of these picks
are owned and operated by mountain bikers.<br />
Here are a 8 must-visit spots for your upcoming <a href="http://bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank">MTB weekend trip</a>:<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.bikefarmpisgah.com/">Bike Farm</a> (Pisgah, NC)</h4>
<a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?attachment_id=66166"><img alt="bike_farm_glamping" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-66166" height="518" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/bike_farm_glamping.jpg" width="1033" /></a><br />
The Bike Farm is located in Pisgah National Forest and offers
mountain bikers a true “glamping” experience. Riders can choose to stay
in one of the four-season platform tents that boast real beds,
electricity, and fans. The Bike Farm features hot showers, restrooms,
the owners offer guiding services, and they will even set you up with a
rental bike.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.flatrockranch.net/index.htm">Flat Rock Ranch</a> (Comfort, TX)</h4>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_66164" style="width: 1210px;">
<a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?attachment_id=66164"><img alt="photo: djeneration" class="size-full wp-image-66164" height="900" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/flat_rock_ranch.jpg" width="1200" /></a><div class="wp-caption-text">

</div>
Flat Rock Ranch is located in Texas Hill country northwest of San
Antonio and features 27 miles of singletrack trails and jeep roads.
Riders are required to pay a $7 daily riding fee but a primitive
campsite costs just 3 bucks more. The “Little Rock House” on the ranch
can be reserved for those looking for a less primitive overnight
experience. Flat Rock Ranch hosts mountain bike races during the year,
but keep in mind: the ranch closes near the end of October each year for
hunting season.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.longtrailranch.com/">Long Trail Ranch</a> (Bailey, CO)</h4>
<a href="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/longtrailranch.jpg"><img alt="longtrailranch" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-66723" height="796" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/longtrailranch.jpg" width="1059" /></a><br />
The <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/buffalo-creek.html">Buffalo Creek mountain bike trails</a>
are among the most popular in the state of Colorado, if not the whole
USA, and the Long Trail Ranch is located just a couple pedal strokes
away. There are three rooms to choose from and riders have full access
to the kitchen, wifi, and laundry facilities during their stay. The
owners even offer guided rides Monday thru Friday.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.mulberrygap.com/">Mulberry Gap</a> (Elijay, GA)</h4>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_66092" style="width: 1010px;">
<a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?attachment_id=66092"><img alt="photo: Timothy James photography / Mulberry Gap" class="size-full wp-image-66092" height="667" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11241327_592162507587817_706831045_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a><div class="wp-caption-text">
photo: Timothy James photography / Mulberry Gap</div>
</div>
Mulberry Gap is located less than a mile from the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/pinhoti-trail.html">Pinhoti Trail</a>, with easy to access to one of North Georgia’s most popular rides, the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/pinhoti-trail-bear-creek.html">Bear Creek / P1</a> / P2 loop. There are even a few short trails on the property with an excellent skills course to play on.<br />
Mountain bikers can choose to stay in one of the cabins on site or
pitch a tent beside the stream. Mulberry Gap offers prepared meals,
inexpensive shuttles starting at just fifteen bucks, and even guided,
multi-day tours. Day riders can choose to park a car at Mulberry Gap for
$10, which includes use of the restrooms, showers, and wifi.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.puremountains.com/">Pure Mountains</a> (Granda, Spain)</h4>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_66163" style="width: 1034px;">
<a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="photo: Pure Mountains" class="size-full wp-image-66163" height="685" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/farmhouse1.jpg" width="1024" /></a><div class="wp-caption-text">
photo: Pure Mountains</div>
</div>
Pure Mountains operates an “eco-luxe farmhouse” located in Spain’s
Sierra Nevada mountain range with an on-site pumptrack and XC circuit
course. Of course, the big draw for mountain bikers is the massive
network of “ancient tracks running from the doorstep.” Meals and drinks
are included in the price of accommodations, and Pure Mountains offers
bike rentals, sag support, and guiding services so riders don’t have to
worry about a thing.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.bike-bean.com/Sedona_Bike_%26_Bean_Sedona_Mountain_biking_and_Coffee/Our_Resort.html">Red Agave</a> (Sedona, AZ)</h4>
<a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?attachment_id=66093"><img alt="red_agave" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-66093" height="313" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/red_agave.jpg" width="651" /></a><br />
The Red Agave bills itself as “the only resort in Sedona that caters
to the adventurous crowd.” The resort is located directly behind the
Bike and Bean bike shop (Bike and Bean co-owns Red Agave) and features
mountain biker-friendly amenities like hot tubs and a fire pit. The bike
shop offers a huge <a href="http://www.bike-bean.com/Sedona_Bike_%26_Bean_Sedona_Mountain_biking_and_Coffee/Rentals.html">fleet of rental bikes</a> and yes, morning coffee.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.reebcycles.com/2014/oskar-blues-reeb-ranch-lodging-camping-now-available/">REEB Ranch</a> (Hendersonville, NC)</h4>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_66165" style="width: 1180px;">
<a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?attachment_id=66165"><img alt="photo: REEB Ranch" class="size-large wp-image-66165" height="780" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/reeb_ranch-1200x800.jpeg" width="1170" /></a><div class="wp-caption-text">
photo: REEB Ranch</div>
</div>
REEB ranch is almost too good to be true: an on-site bike park, access to the massive <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/dupont-state-forest.html">Dupont State Forest</a>
trail system, scenic accommodations, and even an old-fashioned swimming
hole. Oh, and I forgot to mention–REEB Ranch is owned and operated by
Oskar Blues Brewery. The photo above pretty much says it all.<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.whitefishbikeretreat.com/">Whitefish Bike Retreat</a> (Whitefish, MT)</h4>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_66096" style="width: 970px;">
<a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?attachment_id=66096"><img alt="photo: Whitefish Bike Retreat" class="size-full wp-image-66096" height="719" src="http://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_9361_11-960x600.jpg" width="960" /></a><div class="wp-caption-text">
photo: Whitefish Bike Retreat</div>
</div>
Cricket Butler started the Whitefish Bike Retreat to “(share) a
passion for cycling and (share) experiences with others finding their
way on a bike.” The retreat features camping and a large bunk lodge with
amenities like private rooms, a shared kitchen, showers, laundry, and
wifi. Whitefish Bike Retreat is located right on the Whitefish trail and
is just 4 miles from the popular <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/spencer-mountain.html">Spencer Mountain trail</a>.
Mountain bikers will definitely appreciate the bike wash, community
tools, and indoor bike storage (available to those staying in the bunk
lodge.)<br />

<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
First, let me tell you that we absolutely loved Biking through Slovenia. We had heard only good things about Slovenia. <a href="http://travellingtwo.com/" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="Travelling Two: Bike Touring around the World">Travelling Two</a>had nothing but <a href="http://travellingtwo.com/resources/slovenia" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" title="Travelling Two: Slovenia">high praise for this little known Central European Nation</a>. Then there was the spate of <a href="http://www.slovenia.info/?kolesarjenje=0" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="Slovenia Tourism: Cycling">Bike Touring information coming from the Slovenian Tourist Ministry</a>. They had produced a nice <a href="http://issuu.com/slovenia/docs/bikemapangw?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="Slovenia Cycling Routes">map of Slovenian Cycling Routes</a> with adjacent camping areas and they’re trying very hard to attract cycle tourism. C noticed this last winter and had insisted no matter where we go this summer we had to cycle through Slovenia. So, as we cycled south from Graz toward the Slovenian border I was surprised to realize that I had developed an anti-Slovenia prejudice. from <a href="http://vietnamcycle.net/">vietnamcycle.net</a></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
I don’t mean a racial or religious dislike, but rather a Google bias.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
Let me explain:</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
When I mapped out our basic route<a href="http://www.vietnamcycle.net/"> cycling </a>from Prague to Dubrovnik using Google Maps I noticed a message from Google regarding our choice of routes: “<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Use Caution- this route passes through Slovenia.</em>”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
“Hmmm, that’s strange”, I thought at the time…</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
I had forgotten all about it until about 20 minutes before we left Graz to cycle the 90km to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maribor" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" title="Maribor">Maribor, Slovenia</a>. Suddenly it was ALL I could think about. What had Google meant to tell me? Bandits? Plague? Bad food or worse? There was no other explanation other than we were meant to ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Use caution</em>‘. I tried to express my concerns to C, but she just laughed it off. After all, she explained, “Slovenia was the first, and to date the only, of the former Yugoslavian Republics to be admitted to the EU.” “It’s fine”, she said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">

<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
As we continued south I slowly accepted that C knew best. Of course. What was I thinking? Slovenia is fine. Those fools at Google. Right?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
Shortly after we crossed the rather benign border and began following the Slovenian D1 Bike Route toward Maribor we came upon 5 Austrian Cycle Tourists headed the opposite direction. They appeared a bit stressed as one of them flagged us down. It was hot in the midday sun. Perhaps they just ran out of water. We paused briefly as the leading cyclist asked, “Is this the way to Austria..?”</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" id="attachment_859" style="background: rgb(241, 241, 241); border: 0px none; float: right; line-height: 18px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 20px 20px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 4px; text-align: center; width: 310px;">

D1 Bike Route Sign</div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
“Yes”, we replied, “just down this road about 5k, turn left at the highway and north about 3-4k is the border…” No sooner were those words spoken than the 5 pedaled away with barely a hastily muttered “Danke.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
OK, that was weird. Eventually we realized the problem. The Slovenian D1 Bike Route that had been decently marked for the first 10 or so odd kilometers began to unfold into a maze of unmarked, unmapped farm roads leading in every direction, mostly uphill. The Slovenian Bike Route Map did not show any of these roads. We had another <a href="http://www.freytagberndt.cz/slovinsko-1-150-000.html" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="Slovenia Road Map; Freytag and Berndt">Slovenia Road Map</a>, which we had been comparing to the Bike Route Map. It showed one or two of the roads, but seemingly they we’re not really where the Road Map indicated. I had cached this section of <a href="http://www.opencyclemap.org/" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="Open Cycle Map">Open Cycle Map </a>on my iPad, so I pulled it from my bag to compare with the other two maps. Still not showing exactly what we were seeing on the ground, but at least we could tell that we were meant to follow the farm roads paralleling the freeway. South we went.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
A few kilometers later there was a D1 sign pointing toward the left, so left we went. Down another small farm lane, under a rail tunnel, around a field and toward a farm house. Not unusual. We had seen this before in Austria. Small, local agricultural roads used as bike routes. Shortly, a dead end road and big dog convinced us that this was NOT the correct route. Back to the last turn off. Soon we felt we had found the right road. Unfortunately it was signed with a 20% grade sign! Up, up, up we went to a hilltop vineyard and farmhouse. As we cycled past the farmers walking toward the house I decided to stop and ask if we were going the right way. Since I don’t speak Slovenian, I tried my basic level of Polish.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
“To jest trasa na Mariboru, tak?”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
Confused, the farmers replied in English, “No, you can’t get to Maribor this way…”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
They gave us some basic directions which sent us back down the steep grade that we had just climbed and around the roundabout and to another small tunnel, where we asked an elderly gentleman on a bike.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
“Na Maribor…?”, pointing toward the tunnel.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
“Da” came the reply, “Maribor.”</div>

About an hour later we arrived in the center of Maribor. Covering 90k for the day and feeling a little confused and concerned about what we had gotten into, we stopped into the Tourist Information Center to ask if the campground we had picked on our map was really there. The lady in the Tourist Office was really nice. Pointing out some route advice for the next day and telling us about camping options. There were in fact 2 camping areas nearby. One catered specifically to cyclists. Nice! We had some time so we strolled through the center and ate some ice cream sitting on the main square in the hot afternoon sun. Soon, we were off to the camping area. A quick stop at a supermarket for an evening meal’s worth of food and we were pedaling to our home for the night.</div>

You would be forgiven if you stopped reading long ago and came away with the idea that we did not enjoy Slovenia. Nothing could be further from the truth. The roads were quiet. The people were friendly and the food was excellent. Fortunately for us, the first section was the worst of our route finding adventure in Slovenia. We actually rather enjoyed the countryside and the wonderful, lovely people (except the strange guy who woke us at 3AM asking for a light for his cigarette). There were a few more instances of misplaced/mis-marked roads and distances, but generally Slovenia proved to be a delightful place to travel by bike.</div>

Particularly we enjoyed Cycling through the Slovenian Wine Country. This beautiful section of land along the Drava, Savinja and Sava Rivers and through the center of Slovenia is as spectacular as any place we have <a href="http://www.vietnamcycle.net/" target="_blank">travelled by bike</a>. Some of the small villages and scenery between Maribor and Ljubljana reminded us of the old Europe that is romanticized in films. A place where time seems to have stood still, in a good way.</div>

Camping is plentiful. There were even more camping spots than our maps indicated.

</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
Unlike Austria the main and best cycling routes tend to be over rather than around the mountains. This was evidenced by the beginning of our second morning as we ascended a 10k climb that I nicknamed “a World of Hurt.” It seemed to never end, switchback after switchback, from Prebold up and over a mountain known locally as Marija Reka and down to Trbovlje. As we began to climb the lower reaches of the mountain we encountered cyclist after cyclist coming down. Roadies mostly in small groups out for their Saturday morning ride. One way to tell you’re about to hit a really big climb: the presence of copious numbers of Roadies. This one did not disappoint.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
We climbed for about 90 minutes or more before descending the backside into the Sava valley which we would follow for 60 or so kilometers into Ljubljana. Fortunately we had anticipated this and started out early in the morning to avoid the heat. Most of the route passed Goat farms and some interesting looking forest roads, but that will have to wait for later….</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
One thing we both agreed upon, we barely scratched the surface of Slovenia as a Bike Touring destination. We will most certainly be back.</div>

<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
Taking a bike on an airplane as luggage can be a gut wrenching proposition. In addition to the various and variable fees imposed by the different airlines, there is the matter of packing and unpacking your bike for air travel, sourcing packaging materials and protecting your bike during transit.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">

The whole process took about 1.5 hours per bike, on each end of the journey.</div>

<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
With multiple benefits over packing a bike in a cardboard box, this is now our preferred method for flying with our bikes on an airplane. At first we were skeptical, and honestly if we weren’t forced into using this technique by the lack of bike packing resources at the southern end of our <a href="http://twowheeltravelblog.com/2012/08/02/destination-dubrovnik-summer-bike-touring-2012/" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" title="Destination Dubrovnik – Summer bike touring 2012">Destination Dubrovnik</a> tour last summer we would have never tried it. It does feel a little like stepping off a cliff, until you realize that your bike will be treated much more carefully when packed in a clear plastic bag.</div>

<strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">4 reasons why we like this technique.</strong></h3>
<ol style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Simple</strong> – <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">It’s a plastic bag. </em>Think a big sandwich baggie for your bike, hold the mayo. The <a href="http://www.ctc.org.uk/cyclists-library/bikes-public-transport/bikes-air" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="CTC plastic bike bag">CTC Plastic Bike Bags</a> is specifically designed for this purpose. If you order one before your trip, you can carry it in your panniers and it’s reusable. No need to source anything at the last minute. If not you can make your own. In Dubrovnik we used a home-made version by doubling over clear plastic sheeting and duct taping the edges. Slide the bike into the bag, fold down the top and tape it. Natch!</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Quick</strong>– Total packaging/unpacking time including removal/reinstallation of pedals etc.. is about 15 minutes on either end of the trip. This is fabulous compared with the one hour minimum build/pack time per bike when using a bike box. With the plastic bag method almost the entire bike remains intact.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Cheap</strong> – If you plan ahead. (Not our strong suit) then use the CTC Plastic Bike Bag or similar. At present it retails for $13.50. Not bad. If you need to make your own, then the price is a little more variable, since you have to run around, find plastic sheeting and duct tape, which depending on your location at the time, may or may not be simple to locate. Still you shouldn’t have a problem. Our homemade bags, sourced and made in Dubrovnik from plastic sheeting from the local garden shop cost us around $35 for two bags, not counting bus tickets running around town to find plastic. Still a bargain when you consider how smooth the whole thing works.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Your bike is handled more carefully when packed in a plastic bag</strong>– First, If bagage handlers can see that there is a bike in the bag they are more likely to handle it with care. When we deposited our bikes at the luggage desk in Dubrovnik two baggage handlers carried our bikes to the loading area. Since there were no easy hand holds on either bike they carried them one bike at a time. Each man taking an end of the bike and lifting it on to the cart. Second, the odd shape of the bike when in a plastic bag makes it unlikely to be stacked underneath the other luggage in the cargo hold or on the luggage carts to and from the plane. Therefore your bike is less likely to be crushed. Our bikes emerged at our destination in almost perfect condition, despite two connections and an overnight lay-over (don’t ask…). The only problem was a slightly damaged fender stay.</li>

<strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">How do you pack your bike in a plastic bag?</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
Surprisingly using a clear plastic bag to transport your bike on an airplane requires only basic disassembly. First, check with your airline as carriers have differing regulations. Most carriers will accept a bike packed in a plastic bag and require only the handlebar be turned parallel, pedals removed and tires partially deflated. That being said, I like to take a bit more precaution adding padding to the front derailleur, removing the rear derailleur from the frame, lowering the saddle and securing the front wheel from flopping about.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
1. Remove your pedals and turn the handlebar parallel to the frame.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_1379" style="background: rgb(241, 241, 241); border: 0px none; clear: both; line-height: 18px; list-style: none; margin: 0px auto 20px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 4px; text-align: center; width: 590px;">

Turn the handlebars parallel to the frame and remove the pedals. NOTE- lowering the saddle is a good idea.</div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
2. Secure the front wheel from flopping around. I used some spare line that we always carry. You can use just about anything as long as the front wheel is secured before placing your bike in the plastic bag.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_1378" style="background: rgb(241, 241, 241); border: 0px none; clear: both; line-height: 18px; list-style: none; margin: 0px auto 20px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 4px; text-align: center; width: 590px;">

Secure the front wheel.</div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
3. The rear derailleur is an achilles heel of the bike. Carefully remove it from the frame to prevent any damage to the frame or derailleur. I’ve used duct tape and a ‘disposable’ water bottle to secure and protect the rear derailleur in transit.</div>

4. Once you place your bike in the plastic bag simply fold over the top and secure it with heavy tape, like duct tape or packing tape. I’ve wrapped the bike end on end as well just to secure the bag and prevent snags.</div>

It seems that baggage handlers are actually human beings after all. If they can see there is a bicycle in the bag it is more likely to be treated with respect. Instead of tossing and dropping an anonymous cardboard box and stacking hundreds of pounds of suitcases on top of it, the plastic bag is handled with some amount of care. As I said above there is the knock-on effect of not being able to stack it squarely and no easy hand holds from which to toss it onto a luggage cart. This requires the bike to lifted and placed. Bikes like that. We like that.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px;">
While nothing is fool-proof, our experience and <a href="http://travellingtwo.com/resources/flying-with-a-bicycle-in-a-plastic-ctc-bag" style="border: 0px none; color: #204aab; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" title="Travelling Two - Flying with a bicycle in a plastic bag">the experience of others indicates that flying with your bike packed in a plastic bag is at least as safe as using a box</a>. When you factor in the time and effort put into the box method the plastic bag reigns supreme. Again, always check with your airline as there are differing regulations depending carrier.</div>

It’s the question everyone keeps asking us: “Why in the world did you guys, two totally inexperienced cyclers, even want to bike the length of <a href="http://bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank">biking vietnam</a>?” It’s a valid question, and like most of the big challenges we throw ourselves into, the answer is perfectly straightforward.<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </b>We decided to cycle Vietnam because it sounded like <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">fun.</b> That’s ultimately it. Our only prior cycling experience was <a href="http://acruisingcouple.com/2013/04/cycling-taiwan-east-coast/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #4c95ba; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">a three-day jaunt down Taiwan’s East Coast</a>, and obviously that was child’s play in comparison to six weeks of adventuring through Vietnam.</div>

But we did it. <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We <a href="http://acruisingcouple.com/2013/08/on-being-open-to-new-possibilities/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #4c95ba; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">opened ourselves up to new possibilities</a> and embraced the challenge—both physically and mentally—and somehow, beyond any reasonable expectations, we succeeded.</b> We cycled over 1,000 miles from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, and though it proved to be one of the most challenging endeavors of our lives, we wouldn’t have wanted to experience Vietnam any other way.</div>

In Vietnam, almost everyone has a bike. Children bike to and from school in herds of 20 or more while old women use their bikes to balance heaps of market goods. <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Because of Vietnam’s biking culture, it’s easy to find bicycles for sale in major cities and rural villages alike.</b> Of course, not all these bikes are geared towards long-distance cycling and that’s where a bit of bike buying knowledge comes in handy. We bought our bicycles from one of the many bike shops lining <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ba Trieu Street in Hanoi</b>. They were new and held up fairly well during the tour. The bikes on this street are cheaper, and therefore require a bit of cleverness to get a good deal. Another option is to visit the <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hanoi Bicycle Collective</b>. This shop is owned by a super knowledgeable biking expat who sells mostly high-end Japanese bikes. You’ll pay much more but be awarded with confidence in your purchase.</div>

Our budgets were pretty tight, so cheap bike street it was. Like I already noted, we only had minor problems with our bikes, all of which were easily fixed in a few minutes (flat tires, loose brakes, etc). We paid a total of <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">$500 for two bikes</b> and all accessories. That was less than the price of one bike from the collective, so we were quite satisfied. Remember, wherever you purchase your bike, bargain on the price!</div>

1. Vietnam’s roads are just horrible. You’ll want a <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">hybrid between a road bike and <a href="http://bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank">mountain bike</a></b> if you are going to stand a chance against the potholes and mud.

2. <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Test the gears.</b> Make sure they go all the way up and all the way back down again without any problems. And yes. A bike without gears is out of the question unless you have thighs of steel.</div>

3. <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pinch the tire spokes to make certain they are tight.</b> While you’re down there, check the tread on the tires to be sure they aren’t old tires on a new bike.</div>

5. <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Buy your bike a few days before your trip begins</b>!

Think bare essentials: two cycling shirts, lightweight athletic shoes, one pair of flip-flops, two pairs of clothes to change into post-cycling, and a first-aid kit.

We went with the latter option, primarily because it encompassed everything we wanted to see. Highway One is the easiest option. It’s straightforward, the road conditions are better, and there is a large shoulder for cyclists. The traffic is heaviest on Highway One, but we actually found it to be safer than other areas of Vietnam. Hotels and cities are common along Highway One because of all the traffic it sees. The highway isn’t nearly as beautiful as its inland counterpart, and you won’t hear nearly as many ‘hallos’ from the locals. Still, it’s quick and cuts through many of the main tourist cities like Danang, Hue, Hoi An, and Nha Trang.</div>

Expect horrific road conditions, increasingly poor traffic, and mountains to traverse. There are still plenty of towns along the way, but you’ll have to time your itinerary to strategically arrive at them when you’re ready for a hotel or meal. Not too many foreigners cut through the rural areas around the HCMH—even less do it on a bicycle. You’ll receive lots of smiles, cheering, questioning looks, and excitement from the locals you pass.</div>

Should you find yourself stuck or unable to cycle farther, trains run down the east coast, buses and vans frequent the entire country, and all transportation will allow you to put your bike on board. It is possible to flag down a bus on the side of the road, but be prepared that the driver will charge you an absurd amount of money. It’s easier to get a more standard deal at a bus or train station.</div>

If a place appeared to have at least a handful of streets on Google Maps, then it almost always had a few hotels and plenty of restaurants to choose from. There was only one time we found ourselves worried about where we would lay our heads, but luckily we had our guardian angels and <a href="http://acruisingcouple.com/2013/09/terrifying-moment-cycling-vietnam-kindness-saved-us/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #4c95ba; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">kind Vietnamese to save the day</a>. There’s no need to carry a tent and we’re not sure how safe we would have felt sleeping on the side of the road anyway. Our cheapest accommodation was $6 a night, while our most expensive was an Oceanside splurge at a four star hotel for $45.</div>

We found Highway One to be a bit more expensive (averaging around $12 a night) while the South was nearly always under $10. *Tip: <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Nha Nhgi</b> means guesthouse. Often they are less expensive than places that say ‘hotel’ in English but still offer the same amenities. Restaurants and cafes are frequent, provided you don’t mind small, open-air establishments serving just one daily dish.Again, utilize that GPS and plan ahead, especially on some portions of the HCMH, but don’t worry too extensively about not finding necessities.</div>

Luckily we didn’t have to deal with any emergencies ourselves. Should you need assistance, call 113 for police, 115 for ambulance. If your emergency is with your bike, look for a small ‘<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Honda</b>’ shop. These are motorbike repair stores, but the owners are often very handy with a bike too. They won’t charge for service, only the parts themselves. We frequently would get our tires pumped up, our gears oiled, and our brakes tightened for next to nothing.</div>

We LOVE the Vietnamese, but there were a <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">few instances we felt uncomfortable</b>. We followed our instincts. If ever we were a little unsure of someone who had stopped to talk to us or was looking a little too closely at our belongings, we said a friendly goodbye and cycled away. Luckily that was the extent of it. Don’t pull out expensive technology on the side of road; it’s all too easy for someone to grab it and drive off. We also had a wallet picked out of one of our saddlebags while it was with hotel security… Being on a bicycle does make you a bit more vulnerable for the same reasons it allows you to interact more with locals. Just play it smart like you would anywhere.</div>

If you want to cycle but aren’t too keen on tackling it alone, there are numerous cycling companies that will take you on a tour. Often a lot of your journey will be cushioned with bus and van rides, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There’s also a support van that follows along and carries your belongings. We met a couple that had completed a one-week cycling tour and only had good things to say about it. However, they are pricy. Our <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">total </b>trip for two people over <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">six weeks</b> (including bikes and some shopping) cost us <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">$3000 USD. </b>You might spend the same amount on a one-week tour with a company. Still, it’s an option worth considering if you’re looking for a streamlined cycling experience.</div>

housands of travellers visit Nepal each year, many to test themselves against those iconic peaks or simply to undertake an arduous trek that will allow them a glimpse of magical Chomolungma (the Sherpa name for Everest). But there is another side to this fascinating country…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Head away from the tourist hotspots and you will soon discover a different land altogether, one rarely mentioned in guidebooks. In the hills and valleys of the Sailung region, only a few hours’ drive from Kathmandu, traditional villages are scattered across steeply terraced hillsides, separated by high wooded ridges and deep river valleys. With each ascent, ever-more breathtaking views of the Himalayas greet the eye, as memorable as the warmth of the welcome you receive on arrival at each mountain community. The people are curious about visitors yet supremely courteous; happy to let you enter their lives and keen to share their local knowledge.</div>

It was the views that did it for me. The panoramas of the High Himalayas had been getting better with each day we walked, but standing at the very top of Sailung, at 3146m, feeling the warmth of a rising sun, a full moon sinking to the west, surrounded by ancient stone shrines, no one else but us, waves of hills and valleys in all directions as far as the eye could see, not a breath of wind, utter silence, knowing that the mountains ahead were still more than twice the height we stood at… that was very special.<div id="closequote" style="background: url(http://www.inntravel.co.uk/Inntravel/QuoteGreyClose.gif) no-repeat; display: inline; height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; top: 4px; width: 26px;">

We're passionate believers that seeing somewhere from a bike is the absolute best way of doing it and this is certainly true in Vietnam, perhaps more than any other country in Asia! By cycling along some of Vietnam's finest backroads, you'll get the full "surround-sound" effect - you'll be able to interact with local children cycling to school, smell delicicious wafts of street food cooking, see stunning scenery and feel the incredibly varied Vietnamese weather on your skin!</div>

It's more than 1100 miles (nearly 1800 kms) from Saigon to Hanoi, so in order to fit in the the best bits of cycling and to miss out some of the busier urban sections, this trip uses bus transfers most days to get us out of the cities and onto the quieter backroads. Don't let this put you off however - it just means you can save your energy for the great riding that can be found off the beaten track.</div>

Our journey begins in Vietnam's former capital Ho Chi Minh city, still often referred to as Saigon by locals and tourists alike. The city has managed to retain a lot of its historic charms while evolving in to a bustling modern city. From here we head north to the Cu Chi tunnels where we'll get a real insight into the Vietnam war from a local perspective. Next we're off to the stunning coastline at Miu Ne where we can enjoy a swim and a fantastic sunset across the South China Sea. From the coast we head inland to the former French colonial hillstation of Dalat and then we're descending all the way to Nha Trang - famed for its 6km beach, crystal clear water and fantastic seafood.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 630.328125px;">
Next we're off to the Central Highlands for 3 days of exploring away from the tourist trail, before heading back the coast and on to the UNESCO world heritage site of Hoi An. From here we head to Hue where we spend a couple of days explorign this fantastic area, before boarding a sleeper train to our final destination - Hanoi. We'll spend a day here exploring this fascinating city, taking in the sights and the sounds, before flying home at the end of the holiday.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">review of <a href="http://bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank">biking vietnam</a></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">In the first two weeks of March 2013, we went on a <a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com/"><span style="color: navy;">cycling tour</span></a> with Marco Polo Travel Adventure Company from Bangkok, Thailand, to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with an extension to Cat Tien National Park and Mui Ne. It was the second time we took a tour with this company: in 2012 we had <a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com/"><span style="color: navy;">cycled from Hanoi to Nha Trang</span></a>.<br />The company provides a mini-van which can transport bikes and bikers when the going gets too tough. Moreover the driver manages short refreshment breaks during which he provides fresh fruit, cool water and refreshing towels. The itinerary is very well designed, ensuring that eager cyclists get enough exercise, while having unique opportunities for sightseeing, witnessing amazing scenes from local life, and interacting with people along the way.<br />Our 2013 tour is different from the the previous in that we are accompanied and supervised by a guide who was cycling with us the whole way – one in Cambodia, one in Vietnam. Both do a great job motivating us, setting a good pace and regulating our efforts. Besides acting as proficient sport coaches, they are also clever tourist guides who make us pause in interesting places to visit temples, schools, museums, palaces, markets, animal farms, local communities, and whatever site of interest we may encounter along the way.<br />The total price of the tour includes all the services delineated above, entry fees to all the visits and accommodation and food, which is always the best available.<br />This cycling tour was the sixth for us, and by far the very best. We now want to join Mr Joe on the Sapa tour: a mountain trip in North West Vietnam and Laos. We warmly recommend Marco Polo Travel Adventure Company's impeccable, responsible and safe organization to anyone eager to plunge at the heart of Vietnamese culture... on a bike.<br /><br />Michèle Terrat<br />New Caledonia</span><br />

Terraced paddy fields and surreal limestone peaks are home to a vibrant, traditional tribal culture. Crops and dwellings seem to cling to the rocky terrain. We encounter Red Dao, Tay, White Hmong, Tay and Lo Lo communities who, until recently, have lived in complete isolation from the outside world. We witness an unchanged way of life, visiting the local markets, and seeing wildlife including water buffalo, pigs and horses.</div>

Setting off this morning we head out of town cycling for the first 25km on relatively flat road through the landscape of terraced rice paddy fields. Passing through minority villages we cycle the next 25km up winding roads into the vast limestone mountain range with its perpendicular walls of rock, climbing 800m towards the mountain road pass “Heaven gate 1”. As we pass through mountain villages sometimes covered by cloud, we will receive a friendly greeting from the local communities. From the pass we can look down at amazing views, including the famous vista of the Tam Son valley with the ‘Twin Hills and can spy Quan Ba town, our destination, in its beautiful location. It’s mainly downhill for the last 15km into Quan Ba.</div>

We will want to take our time today as our beautiful surroundings offer numerous photo opportunities and the rocky limestone and karst terrain is as diverse as it is beautiful. We cycle uphill for the first few km before a descent of around 10km and then relatively flat terrain for the next 10km. It’s a challenging up and down terrain to an altitude of 1.025m before we make a final descent for the last 15km into Yenh Minh. We will have the chance to see the traditional homes of the local hill tribes. The communities in this area are Chinese.</div>

Today we cycle on semi-surfaced quiet roads as we undertake a challenging uphill ride out of dense cedar forest onto the rocky Dong Van plateau. A registered UNESCO Global Geopark, 80% of the terrain is covered by rock and it is said to contain fossils from 400-600million years ago. Nestled in a valley in the heart of the Rock Plateau, is the isolated town of Dong Van, very close to the Chinese border and surrounded by mountain forest and multi-coloured orchids. Meaning ‘sharing culture’ Dong Van is occupied by Chinese Hoa, and H’mong, Tay and Kinh People. The houses are built in Chinese style. As we cycle on the modest road from Dong Van to Meo Vac alongside a vast gorge, the views are spectacular. This is a winding and undulating road with the sight of the Nho Que River below. From the Ma Phi Leng Pass we look down from an altitude of around 1500m into the valley. We stay tonight in the small town of Meo Vac. Most of the tribes living here have preserved their way of life from outside influence as travelling to Meo Vac was almost impossible until the recent construction of new roads.</div>

There is a market daily in the town centre of Meo Vac used mainly by the White Hmong, Tay and Lo Lo hill tribes. Women dressed in their brightly coloured traditional clothing walk into the town carrying their bamboo woven baskets laden with corn and vegetables. Today we follow a remote mountain road to Bao Lac. After a 5km uphill cycle we make a 20km descent the follow a fairly flat road for the next 10km. The surrounding landscape with predominantly limestone formations is a surreal vista of peaks, troughs, towers and caves. The crops and dwellings seem to perch precariously on the hillsides. There’s a relatively gentle uphill climb of 250m before we descend for the final 30km along flat terrain.

Even in this isolated mountain town there is a busy morning market. We set off for a full day of cycling along challenging terrain but the road is quiet and well surfaced. We cycle through a pretty valley to the tin-mining town Tinh Tuc, heading on to Nguyen Binh. We continue along challenging terrain, but the unparalleled beauty of our surroundings more than compensates for the challenges of the cycling.</div>

the bridge was built in 1903 by the architects of Daydé & Pillé, a
French company. Before North Vietnam's independence in 1954, it was
called <i>Doumer Bridge</i>, named after
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Doumer" title="Paul Doumer">
Paul Doumer</a> - The
Governor-General of French Indochina and then French president. It was,
at that time, one of the longest bridges in

Asia</a> with the
length of 2,500 m.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Bien_Bridge#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup>
For the French colonial government, the construction was of strategic
importance in securing control of northern Vietnam. From 1899 to 1902,
more than 3,000 Vietnamese took part in the construction."

</span></span>La Route Verte,
Canada</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
The newly completed Route Verte (Green Route) crosses the province of Quebec from east to west, running for
more than 2,485 miles (4,000 kilometers) along carefully selected rights-of-way
and rural roads. Well signed, it’s easy to follow and includes directions to
interesting sites. The terrain and vistas vary immensely, from calm stretches
along the St. Lawrence River to mountain views
in the Laurentides.</div>
<h4 style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

Railroad Bicycle Route, U.S.A./Canada</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
The Adventure Cycling Association developed this route from
Mobile, Alabama,
to Owen Sound, Ontario, to honor the bravery of slaves
trying to reach freedom and those who helped them. There are five segments,
adding up to a total distance of 2,057 miles (3,310 kilometers). Sites along
the way highlight the route’s history, from former slave markets to museums
dedicated to African-American history.</div>

</span></span>Ruta Austral,
Chile</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
Mostly surfaced with graded but unpaved gravel, the
route runs for more than 810 miles (1,300 kilometers) from Puerto Montt in
central Chile, south through
Caleta Yungay to Villa O’Higgins in northern Patagonia,
with numerous ferryboat transfers along the way. You pass through wild and
beautiful landscapes, including Queulat and Cerro Castillo national parks.
Large stretches of native forest and enormous ferns surround Puyuhuapi Hot
Springs, near Queulat.</div>

Trail, Western Australia</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
In the Noongar Aboriginal language, Munda Biddi means
“path through the forest.” This cycling trail runs through miles of “jarrah
forest”—from the local name for eucalyptus trees. The 206-mile (332-kilometer)
section from Mundaring to Collie opened in July 2004, and two extensions will
take it to Albany.
You may encounter forest natives like western brush wallaby, western gray
kangaroos, and brushtail possum.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
If bikes and beaches mix well for you, Vietnam
combines them on this 746-mile (1,200-kilometer) route between the country’s
two biggest cities, taking you along vast stretches of sandy coastline. But
it’s no picnic, as road surfaces vary considerably and there are many natural
obstacles like the Hai Van Pass, the historical division point between North
and South Vietnam.</div>

Fondo Campagnolo, Italy</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
This mass-participation ride through the Dolomites
around Feltre honors Tulio Campagnolo, who invented the modern gear-shifting
system, the derailleur. It takes place each year in mid-June, soon after the
mountain roads are cleared of snow. You climb more than 13,780 feet (4,200
meters) along the 130-mile (209-kilometer) course, which tops four summits.<br />

to Bayonne, France</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
The Tour de France crossed high mountain passes for the
first time in 1910. On Stage 10, the most difficult that year, the winner took
14 hours to cycle the 202 miles (325 kilometers) from the mountain spa town of
Luchon to the finish at Bayonne, crossing four major passes, all unpaved at the
time. Tracing the route is simple—follow the roads that climb the same passes:
the Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet, and Aubisque.<br />

Comte Jean, Belgium/France</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
Belgium
is known for its Vlaanderen Fietsroute (Flemish Cycle Route) along country
roads and paths, many closed to vehicular traffic. The Route du Comte Jean
(named for a 14th-century Flemish general) takes in 137 miles (220 kilometers)
of the network, from Bruges into northern France. There
are no mountains, but coastal winds present a challenge.</div>

End to John O’Groats, Britain</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
Depending on your route choices, the distance can be 900
miles (1,450 kilometers) or more. Prevailing winds are more likely to be with
you going north to south. Even if you take the long way in a relaxed fashion,
you should have no problem beating the first official End-to-End record: 65
days, done in 1885 on a highwheeler.</div>

Pick ’n Pay Cycle Tour, South Africa</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 1.0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
At 68 miles (109 kilometers), the Cape Argus
ride isn’t the world’s longest open-ride race, but with some 35,000
participants, it may be the biggest. The course does a loop of the Cape Peninsula
with constant ups and downs. If you’re just happy to finish, you’ll enjoy the
many coastal sections and the portions through Table Mountain
National Park.</div>

Why? You're looking at one of the least visited countries out there. The way of life has remained quite independent from the innovation that goes on in the world today. The laid back lifestyle regins supreme here! Secondly, the northern parts of the country features superb hills, mountains, forests, ethnic villages and is even less explored by visitors. Discover, journey and adventure; these are the themes of your <a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com">biking trip</a> in Northern Laos.
What a way to start. After your cultural endeavor in Luang Prabang, grab your bicycle and pedal your way to pure Laotian geographical region. Cycle along mountain roads, alternating up steep climbs with breezy descents all the while soaking in the beautiful scenery and fresh air. Sure is prime biking territory, isn't it? Reach Oudoxmay and swell in the environment that only the Nam Beng River can.
Your journey to Luang Nam Tha is a marvelous one. Enjoy the long, spectacular route along undulating ridge roads with great views and wonderful downhills to enjoy. Spot a village here and there in the lush jungles and meet the friendly folk. Arrive at Muang Sing and rest those legs amidst ethnic villages and rice fields.
The winding road from Luang Nam Tha to Muang Sing provides parallel views of several rivers, serving as a unique but still striking background for your . You'll also cross them at various points along the way. Other interesting sites you'll pass through include beautiful monsoon forests and hilltribe settlements such as the Akha, Hmong and Mien. This evening in Muang Sing, enjoy the tranquility and laidback pace of life that is common in these parts.
Awake early to visit Muang Sing's local market.
Join the vendors, most of whom come from the ethnic minority villages in the area as they buy and sell fresh fruit, meats, and dry goods. There isn't a better way to journey the local lifestyle and ambiance than this. This should fuel the energy needed for your last leg of the trip to Xieng Kok, a small and simple town with wooden houses and bamboo shacks. On this peaceable stretch of road, the biggest hazards you are likely to see on the road are the cows and chickens who roam freely around the area!
You deserve a rest. And why not? You've just <a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com/tours/Laos-bikes-tours.htm">cycled about 250 kilometers around Northern Laos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IDGF9Doe4ss/UdOa2Shj3dI/AAAAAAAAB54/9sSUt6IqgII/s1600/bike2310.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IDGF9Doe4ss/UdOa2Shj3dI/AAAAAAAAB54/9sSUt6IqgII/s320/bike2310.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHkHL9pFwUNRXWjGagUaIHIcBgUOJ88_lSbURTt3bCIaG8KMCWw__MatcehtPLqffLGOshG9ApeKG3Ic22TlaNMgFHLJAQ4xyYN9zLewNUAoZlKINb0dIDSwSEEQMuaZj30iQ6hyLrRk/s1600/bike2312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHkHL9pFwUNRXWjGagUaIHIcBgUOJ88_lSbURTt3bCIaG8KMCWw__MatcehtPLqffLGOshG9ApeKG3Ic22TlaNMgFHLJAQ4xyYN9zLewNUAoZlKINb0dIDSwSEEQMuaZj30iQ6hyLrRk/s320/bike2312.JPG" /></a></div></a>. A boat ride along the Mekong will surely ease those tiring muscles. Travel past the riverside villages and fisherman before reaching the border town of Huay Xai and the end of your journey through magnificent Northern Laos.
Laos and adventure. A truly winning combination. You'll truly experience and uncover, as you wander untouched and unexplored lands, whilst pumping that adrenaline on your high octane challenge.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318158625176853994.post-26049158495945500342013-06-09T01:29:00.002-07:002013-06-09T01:33:07.692-07:00Vietnam real travel <a href="http://www.kayakingvietnam.com">Vietnam travel </a> is the most affordable International [http://www.kayakingvietnam.com/ travel destinations] for tourists around the globe.

I’ve biked my way through Europe and am ready for something more adventurous. Can you suggest an affordable, culturally rich itinerary in an up-and-coming destination? —Travis Schoenleber, Boston, Mass.
The Destination: For an experience that hits the right balance between value and culture, we recommend Vietnam, where you’ll have intimate access to local communities, markets, temples, and regional cuisine.
Outfitters:<a href="http://www.kayakingvietnam.com">Marco Polo Travel</a> Bicycling & Walking Vacations (11 nights from $1,695) has an easygoing 110-mile route that starts in Hanoi and winds through the ancient capital of Hué. Pedalers Pub & Grille (13 nights from $2,095) offers a moderate course (about 36 miles per day) through the striking landscape of Mai Châu; you’ll stop to sample delicacies along the way. If you have a larger budget and crave the creature comforts of luxury hotels, a trip from Hanoi to Saigon on <a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com/styles/luxury-cycling.htm">luxury cycling tour</a> (13 nights from $4,398) covers Hanoi and Da Nang and crosses into SaiGon, while an itinerary from www.bikingvietnam.com: includes cycling the farmland near Hoi An and dinner with royal descendants in Hué.

HIS EMPTY SLEEVE is folded on his lap. He slips his right hand inside
the military suit jacket that is far too large for his shrunken frame
and removes his latest poem. Then with his thin fingers he pours shots
of rice wine and grins. His teeth are rotten and stained black from
chewing betel nuts. It is 10 a.m. in Huong Khe, a remote village in
northern Vietnam. He begins reading, in a croaky and halting voice, a
poem that elegiacally describes his invincible spirit during the
American war, the poverty of his family, his hope for the future when
the war would finally be won. Ong Phung Minh was 17 in 1957, when he
was sent out with the first secret reconnaissance team to find a way for
the North Vietnamese to transport troops, arms, communications, and
supplies far away from the coast, which was patrolled by the American
Navy. <br />
<br />
He nods at our <a href="http://www.bikingvietnam.com/" target="_blank">Vietnam bicycle</a> leaning in his doorway. “The route had to be passable for bicycles,” Ong says. “Bicycles were our secret weapon.”<br />
<br />
The Vietnam bicycle path
he spent four years surveying, mapping, and building would become known
as the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the primary supply line for Communist forces.
Built at the beginning of the Vietnam War, from 1959 to 1961, then
continually expanded during the ’60s, the Ho Chi Minh Trail was never a
single thoroughfare but, rather, a vast, intricate web of
interconnecting porter tracks, paths, streambeds, jeep roads, and tank
and truck roads that ran down the spine of the Annamite Mountains
(called the Truong Son by the Vietnamese), through the panhandle of
Laos, eastern Cambodia, and western Vietnam—and which, it turned out,
was best navigated by the versatile bicycle. One bike reportedly carried
a record 924 pounds along the 1,000-mile length of the Trail.<br />

Part of Ong’s job was to reroute the Ho Chi Minh Trail whenever it was
damaged by B-52 bombings. When American warplanes would discover and
destroy one section, the Trail was simply redirected through the dense,
almost impenetrable foliage, the jungle canopy concealing it from the
planes. When a portion navigated by truck (the most obvious from the
air) was damaged, supplies were reloaded onto bicycles that weaved
invisibly through jungle. At times during the war, it was possible to
pedal the length of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, from Hanoi to Saigon, and
never once cross into sunshine. <br />
<br />
Ong was one of six brothers, all of whom were soldiers in the North
Vietnamese Army. Three died during the war, two in battle, one from a
bomb dropped on his home. “For years and years, there was bombing every
day,” says Ong, through our interpreter, Vu Chung. “I would say that
about half of my friends died in the bombings.” When his left arm was
blown off by American artillery, there were no nearby doctors in the
jungle, so he bandaged it himself. He explains this not heroically, but
as a matter of fact. “Everyone suffered,” he says. <br />
<br />
After the war, he was given a house, a pension, and three military suits
that have lasted him two generations. He slowly gets up from the table
and shows us his faded military certificates on the wall,
black-and-white photos of his dead brothers tucked into the glass frame.
When I ask Ong whether all the sacrifice was worth it, his thin face
tries to conceal a look of bewildered disdain. It will take weeks more
of travel before I realize that my question is offensive. To the
Vietnamese, the American War was the supreme struggle for independence.
It required decades of death to beat the French colonists and the
American imperialists. It is as if I had asked an American whether the
Revolutionary War was worth it. Rather than giving me a lesson in
history, Ong replies politely: “I have devoted my life to serving my
people. And as for the U.S., our countries are friends now, as we could
have been from the beginning. I want only peace.” </div>
