This South Asian cyclist occasionally writes about cycling in his part of the world. Article is about the world's highest ultra-marathon (in Himalayan mtns.). He plans to bike to follow the runners and give reports.

Wow. :eek:
I'm doing my first ultra marathon in October, and it's flat and just above sea level. I can't imagine doing something like that. Maybe one day, tho... but I'll just tackle my baby ultra first. ;)
