Great image...

Voted 10/10

Considering the assumption that we are in the vicinity of the himalayas I guess that any die hard cyclist is to expect the typically rugged terrain that is the driving catalyst for ending up so far beyond the beaten track ...

Regarding the previous comment; I myself would typically put a 9\10 considering perfection as unattainable. But then some pictures really stand out and thus deserve such a score... (frankly speaking , I was quite often given a perfect score despite knowing very welll that my images are often substandard... As a result I came to the understanding that most people try to be encouraging with those such as myself which have substandard quality but are more stringeant with those pros which consistently are above standards, thus leading to an interesting paradox ...)
