I'll stay in touch. <br /><br />Alex, After a taste of the (huge stone step) trails on the Circuit, I have to admit I'm more than a little intimidated by the idea of bikepacking. However, I did purchase a map in Pokhara, created by a crazy Italian guy, that lists the percentage of "bike riding," "bike pushing," and "bike carrying" for each section. It also makes a case for biking still being a faster mode of travel than trekking, but I'm dubious about that as well. There was a lot of bike carrying listed in that map alone, and I'm guessing that guy is crazier than I am.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-55470996694473082262011-12-11T08:07:46.592-07:002011-12-11T08:07:46.592-07:00Inspiring as always Jill.

They are amazing and easy to walk the Annapurna Circuit alpine style (or bikepack it!) Plus moving a little faster you get to meet more people other than those who started at the same time as you :)<br /><br />If you need info drop me a line<br /><br />AlexAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071921034352041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-18848694629641143882011-12-10T18:33:04.604-07:002011-12-10T18:33:04.604-07:00Way to wiggle the result's categories!
