Hi,

Mountain Biking 2007 is starting from October 5th in Shimla. This
event has become a annual phenomenon and it continues to grow. This
year the cycle riders will have to go through tough mountain
conditions for 9 days covering more than 700 KMs. The race ends on
13th October at Manali. Prize distribution is to be held on 14th
October after giving a days breather to the participants who manage to
complete the race.

The event was started by a group of enthusiasts from Association for
Himalayan Tourism Adventure (AHAT). The first race was held in 2005.
Last year 58 riders from all across the world participated in the
event. Only 33 were able to finish the race.

The event at this stage and magnitude cannot be managed without
support of volunteers. Volunteers help in keeping the costs low,
specially when the resources are limited. This year AHAT has come up
with a volunteer programme so as to choose the right candidates
amongst the many who apply.

Selected volunteers will be provided with

• Accommodation
• Breakfast and dinner
• Race Finisher's Dinner
• Crew T-shirt
• Crew Cap
• Transport between stages
• Reserved start place for following year's race

If this is not enough than you also get to see beautiful Himachal ,
starting from Shimla and ending at Manali. The route will take you
through interiors of the picturesque state.

There are limited number of volunteer places available so those of you
who are interested in volunteering for the race please send a mail to
mbhimachal@... or log onto
http://www.mtbhimachal.com/volunteer_programme.htm . On selection you
will be intimated by AHAT team.

with warm regards
