Explore Expedition Planning Weekend at the RGS 2014

The Explore seminar at the Royal Geographical Society is coming up in November. I contribute through conversations with people who attend conveying my experience of journeys. It is a time of reflection after journeys and a time to prepare. I used to think adventure was deciding to go into a wild place and doing a hard walk or bike ride. However, it is much deeper and personal. All true journeys are very personal.

Downhill Mountain Bike Race in Tbilisi
July 13, 2014
A mountain bike race was held at Mtatsminda park in Tbilisi. The location was ideal for the race because above it is a mountain with trails and then the race ended at the park where people were watching. All ages and levels could be seen participating.

Sakartvelos: Living in the Amazing Republic of Georgia
July 6, 2014
I am in the wonderful city of Tbilisi, Georgia. The first week I took an Irish guy on a challenging but fantastic one day bike tour, then two Australian tourists from Melbourne came for a week. We explored many incredible places and did some brilliant riding. The mountain biking in Georgia is superb and I’m working on mountain bike tour company Georiders out here. I have been catching up with old friends; one of which is making Champagne using artisanal methods.
