Director of Extreme World Challenges, Phil Evans, and 3 times Everest summiteer and former winner of Yak Attack, Kaji Sherpa, recently completed the Annapurna circuit in 3 days in a bid to raise money for Cancer Research.

Extreme World Challenges have teamed up with Dawn till Dusk mtb'ing Nepal, to support the Nepal National mountain biking champion, Ajay Pandit.

A few months ago Ajay broke his Specialised frame and has since been racing and training on bikes he has been able to borrow from friends. Phil Evans, director of Extreme World Challenges (pictured with Ajay) and Chhimi Gurung, director of Dawn till Dusk joined forces to provide the 20yr old bike mechanic with a new Trek 8500 frame.

Despite this generous donation, Ajay is still looking for a main sponsor that would be willing to assist him with training plans, financial assistance for equipment and race entry fees etc. This is an excellent oppurtunity for any company wishing to be associated with Nepals top MTB'er.
