3 News I like to share about biking
KENMARE, N.D. – A three-day bicycle tour in north- central North Dakota has grown in popularity in its three years, and this year’s event might feature 100 or more riders.
The 160-mile Bike the Border Bicycle Tour gets under way June 20 in Kenmare.
“I was a nonrider when this started, and I got a bike and did it the first year,” said Barb Otto of Mohall, chairwoman of the tour. “And if I can do it at the age of 50, anyone can do it.”
Stops on the tour this year include Bowbells, Stanley, Tioga and Powers Lake.
North Dakota has other annual bike tours. The most notable are Cycling Around North Dakota in Sakakawea Country in the western part of the state, and the Red River International Bike Tour in the east.
Our journey began in the spring (2004) when we decided it was time to realize our dream in the drawer: go to the Valley of the Gods, Nepal and the Roof of the World, Tibet.
The condition binding of departure was to do an organised trip; for Nepal we have not met major difficulties, while for Tibet, despite our tenacity, we have had to surrender to the Chinese bureaucracy and the awareness that we could not turn to a ‘Travel agency.
Because we have 3 weeks we decided to break up the trip in this way: the first week to spend a KTM and its surroundings, the second in Tibet and the third again in Nepal, and after that Bhaktapur to return to KTM again there and spend the festival of Dasain, the most important festival of the Nepalese consecrated to the goddess Durga in which, in honour of the goddess, blood is made to scroll rivers.
Few other American states are so frequent use of its flag as the Texans. Originally Texas knew the domain of Spain and then Mexico. In 1836 its inhabitants undertook a revolt against the central government which led to the establishment of a free state.
The Texas independent survived until 1845, when joined the USA.
The Texans are known for generosity and hospitality skills in addition to the unusual manner with which speak English. Chatting with them is generally a pleasant experience as enjoyable is a visit to their varied country: in the area of hills (Hill Country) inhabit Germans who have preserved traditions typical; down south along the valley of the Rio Grande are Chicanos, passionate flamenco dancers and these are just two examples of the many cultures that come together in this extraordinary country.

The night flights produce twice the emissions of CO2
That’s what some british researchers argue according to which shifting all flights in the United Kingdom during the day, would be a reduction of 2.5% of total carbon dioxide
Banning night flights would reduce significantly the impact of the aviation environment. It emerges from a study at the University of Leeds in Great Britain. The planes that fly at night produce twice the emissions of carbon dioxide.
According to the prestigious scientific journal Nature, shows that the search for Piers Foster and his english colleagues, the condensation trails left by the aircraft accentuate the greenhouse effect because they trap heat as the clouds.
Where I’ve Passed my Last Vacations…Radda in Chianti
Radda in Chianti is located in the heart of Chianti Classico. In the second half of two hundred Florence organized its countryside in what was a mayor.
In 1415 Radda was declared capital of the League of Chianti, and it therefore took home the Podestà with jurisdiction over terzieri of Radda, Gaiole and Castellina.
The story of Radda, for the position of the border, is influenced by the war between Siena and Florence; being under the protection of the latter did not have peace if not with the end of the republic Senese.
