Why did you start Mountain Biking Asia?

The experiences we shared on that initial trip were “once in a lifetime.” The simple kindness of the Chinese villagers, the beautiful countryside, and the fun of riding side by side with the Chinese, were only the beginning. Amazingly, in spite of the rapid changes in China and Asia over the last three decades, we still enjoy these experiences on our tours today.
