Spiti Valley to host MTB event.

Himalayan Adventure Sports and Tourism Promotion Association (H.A.S.T.P.A.) has been organizing mountain biking events for the past few years. Though it started as very small sport, over the years, the MVT Himachal event has started getting recognition with an increase in the number of participants including overseas competitors. For this year, the group has lined up no less than three mountain biking challenges including what is being promoted as the world's highest trail ride that has its route chalked out in the highs of Spiti valley. With the elevation as high as 14K feet, this event will take place from July 19, 2009 onwards. In India, it's rare to come across a dedicated group of enthusiasts coming together for the sake of pushing forward a sport.
