Arriving in Hathmandu and Preparing for the Yak Attack Cycling Race

Description:In spring 2012, cyclist Paul Bolla attempted the Yak Attack – the world’s highest, longest, most intense cycling race. The route is brutal: over 12 days and 10 stages spanning 400km on jeep track, goat track, yak track, snow track, suspension bridges, and sometimes no track, with 12,000 meters of elevation gain and a max height of 5416m, or nearly 18,000 ft.
