Bhudlinakantha to Nuwakot - 45km 983m of ascent 1383m of descent After a ceremonius send off from the Durbar Sq, Kathmandu and a group ride accompanied by many of Kathmandu's mountain bikers out of the city,Yak Attack 2010 started from Bhudlikantha at 9.45am on 9/3. A brutal 7km climb from the start split the field and Nepali National Champ Ajay Pandit was soon disappearing into the distance. Australian veteran mtb'er and paragliding instructor took chase but even with a number of minor spills during the 18km descent was able to keep Ajay in his sights. The final killer 500m, climb in full sun and on a heavily rutted trail, however meant that the 4 times Yak Attack competitor, Ajay, was able to hold off the australian and finish 40 seconds ahead Top Ten Results 7 Ajay Pandit (Nepal) 2:10:40
