Hills around Kathmandu

5 hours on the bikes today, with our group and a guide, around the hills that surround Kathmandu. Great weather (30+ degrees, which was a bit warm given that we've been riding in cold weather for 6 months). "Roads" are dirt tracks badly carved up by trucks and motor bikes, but some great uphill and downhill riding. Most of the day was spent in farmland, with stops in little villages where all the residents would come out to say hello.

This morning we fly to Lhasa, so hopefully we'll get a glimpse of Everest from the plane, but its looking pretty overcast right now.  Later today we'll find out if we feel any altitude sickness
