Is riding the Blue Ridge Parkway for you?

In this episode of Threshold Stories, Jeff Gaura tackles all information regarding Threshold Academy’s 2021 Blue Ridge Parkway Tour.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is arguably America’s best cycling route. It is closed to all commercial traffic and has a speed limit of 45 miles an hour, keeping big vehicles off the road and cars going relatively slow. The 469-mile scenic route takes you and your bike between Rockfish Gap, VA and Cherokee, NC. The route is the longest planned road in the US, with construction starting in 1935 and ending in 1987. The park was built with the intent to allow visitors to be “gorged on scenery,” with “one panorama following right on another.” The rhythm of the road for cyclists is the ever changing landscape and variety of visual experiences.

Preparing you for our 2021 Trek to the Himalayas. This podcast episode is hosted by your tour leader, Jeff Gaura to cover questions, topics, and information about the upcoming Himalayan Trek on October 25 – November 7, 2021.

We touch on what to prepare prior to the trip, the mindset needed to succeed on this trek, and more travel/training topics and tips.

We hope to have you join us on this epic Himalayan trek!

— —

Nepal is a Himalayan Kingdom, famous for being home of 8 of the 10 highest mountains in the world. It is home of the Gurkha soldiers, as well. Few know that about one third of all the land in Nepal is part of the Ganges River basin, where tropic conditions dominate everyday life. Far from Kathmandu exists the Dang Valley, where the Tharu people of the Dang Valley are one of those groups.

With our 2021, Threshold’s Himalayan trek incorporates both of these experiences. We will trek into the Annapurna Sanctuary, visiting Annapurna Base Camp for one of the world’s greatest sunrises. As soon as we are done, we will travel to the Dang Valley to celebrate Deshain, the greatest of all the Nepali holidays.

Each day we will hike between 4 and 7 hours, stopping intermittently for food and refreshments along the way. We start each morning right after sunrise and finish our trekking early afternoon, to optimize time for resting and recovery.

Join us!
