The first day, Peter and I rented mountain bikes from Kathmandu and got up at 5 am before the sun had risen. We met up with 3 others and started heading out of the city in the pitch black dark. Riding through a foreign city at night was quite the first experience, the traffic seemed hectic and chaotic, but the drivers were very attentive and the traffic had much more flow to it. After a few minutes, I felt more comfortable with Kathmandu traffic than I do with some of the cranky commuters in Bethlehem at rush hour.
Soon we hit the edge of valley and started climbing up out of the city. We broke through the clouds as the sun was coming up.
We made one stop for "chia" before turning back down.
