Swedish Curling Team

The GB curling teams are on their way home, the men’s team narrowly missing out on a medal, although many sports fans may be asking: So what?

Clifford Krolik shares his experiences with us and how he travelled through India, Nepal and Bhutan on his mountain bike exploring the new smells, tastes and culture. Finding new tracks and taking his bike on the downhill tracks, blazing past the stunning scenery is definitely worth experiencing!

‘As daylight wanes, I’m still in awe. I just cannot get over it! There is no end to the majestic mountains, deep Grand Canyon-like valleys, and the intricately painted temples, monasteries and farmhouses perched on cliffs above and below. The bike is my vehicle providing me with an intimate experience in this magical place.’
