Is climbing in the Himalayas on your bucket list? The notion of hiking around in the world's tallest mountains is a romantic concept. Many aspire to make the venture and some are lucky enough to actually do so. But have you ever wanted to mountain bike across the Himalayas? I am hearing my quadriceps scream just thinking about it. Well these guys are all for it. While this is not our typical Thrill Thursday video, it is breathtaking in another way.
The Tour of the Dragon is a 268km (166.5 mile) bike ride that ascends and then descends the Himalayas, and these extreme athletes attempt to complete it in just one day. It takes place in the Kingdom of Bhutan, and this supposedly secret race known only amongst the world's best athletes is being documented for the first time. We guarantee it would get your heart rate pumping so check out this week's Thrill Thursday: Tour of the Dragon.
