You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
...and I'd like to do something mountain bike related preferably abroad.
Maybe a big foreign off-road ride like the Passport du Soleil or similar. What would you do?
Any suggestions?
Trans Provence? The only event I make sure I watch the daily videos.
A mate and I are planning an MTB tour of Scottish distillerys for our 50th - think it was advertised either on here or in the mag a few years back....
50 here as well in October.
Tour Divide in 2018 gets my vote.
Me too*. Also want to go somewhere ace on the new bike.
Thought about the Midi Pyrénées...
*By which time I'll have lost three stone 🙂
Given the funds I'd go touring for 6 months. Maybe the Cascade Range and down the Sierra Cascades route.

I made a list of 50 things to do over a year (idea ripped off from Carol Vorderman) some big, some small. Some a first and things I wouldn't normally do. I only got through about half as I injured my knee (which sadly killed one of the major things I wanted to do which was an off-piste backcountry ski week)
The PdS is a day long not that exciting a ride, maybe do the event with friends as part of say a 3-4 day riding weekend. You could treat yourself to a guided week somewhere. Depends if you want mates or family to join in which case you have to find things to suit them.
Good luck and best wishes
sighhhhh
it was my 50th last week
I've got a 3 yr old boy so all these talks about trips away are a no no
Why ? Take him with you, ride alternate days or half days. Switch long weekends with the wife

That's a shame.
Me too in Feb next year. Hoping for a BIG party in the flat field and a proper adventure type MTB trip abroad somewhere. I was thinking along lines of a crossing of the Alps on singletrack, staying in mountain huts and finishing at Lake Garda. Then a mate suggested being a bit more ambitious and hitting the Himalayas or South America, which has got me thinking 🙂
It's my 60th next year, I'm giving up work to celebrate. 🙂
