hi all,

ddint even realise there was a LYN MTB thread rclxms.gif anyway, 1st post, thought i post some pics of a MTB trip i went last month, really best, once in lifetime sorta trip.

everyday we are trucked to about 1200m and we ride down. Loads of diffrent terrain, lava rock, singletracks, clove plantations, paddy fields etc. Drama on 3rd day, when a friend had a bad landing after a jump, his rim buckled and he flew 10 feet down the trail....concussion, badly sprained wrist and 4 stitches. We we worried what the hospitals would be like, but it was world class, MRI and Xray done within 30min, then images sent to jakarta for 2nd consultation.

Everyday we rode about 45-55km. Accomodation, lunch,breakfast, guide, support vehicles all included in package, RM2700 per person, 6D/5N. Def will be back again, so many more trails to explore

hey guy whats your opinion on 26er vs 29er ??
*
last 5 years riding Merida and yeti 26...this year changed to a 29er its NIGHT and DAY diffrence. Climbing is so much easier now.

The trip is Bali, yes using our own bike, but the organizers rent out GIANT full sus bikes for small fee as well. We ddint want to risk using rental bikes, why spoil your whole trip if the bike isnt to your liking.

--> jwrx, the trip includes accommodation and meals? flight?
*
Flight is separate cost. But to be honest is very good value, every hotel we stayed in was 4 stars and above. For 2 days cos we are in same location, we had private villa with our own pool, living patio and outdoor dining/kitchen.

some pic of our hotels, we stayed diffrent places cos everyday trail starts from diffrent location....the best was last day, started at 1200meter, 4 hours of down hill and end at a secluded beach, where we spent the afternoon oggling ang mohs
