Following the trail through the Japanese bamboo forest. The December snow made an interesting addition to the already slippery trails.

There were many rests along the way.. here it is easy to see the special seats and low-slung (low centre of gravity) of the specialized trial riding bikes.

Another beautiful view from high in the Dragon Mountains. The Explorasport Adventre Team rests after climbing to this point up a slippery mountain stream bed.

Preparing for the night. Two team members get the tents ready for a much needed sleep.

Tents are set up, time to remember the day's activities, make dinner and relax.
