How Mountain Biking Became an Olympic Sport
Although the sport of mountain biking is relatively young, it has accrued a bit of history that is of importance to aficionados. I have therefore pulled the following interview out of my “lock box.” I now share with you, dear readers, the story of how Cross Country Mountain Biking came to be an Olympic sport.

In west central Belize, the Cayo District provides the opportunity for guided tours to locations like Clarissa Falls and the ancient Mayan site of Xunantunich.

First Himalayan Mt Everest Bike Rally
Each new ride fills me with a terror, one notch above a simple adrenaline rush. And this feeling is not quelled until maybe a mile into the ride when I know that the trail is within my ability.

It looked incredibly steep! The foot racers gathered, a gun cracked, and they were off. We mountain bikers then lined up. The soft life of high tea and pampering fell away as soon as the starting gun sounded and seven of us crawled up the trail, followed by the “video jeep” containing our equipment.
