Bike Colorado 2006

Back in Edinburgh Airport. Fly out to the Alps in a few minutes for some rock climbing and white water kayaking. Can't wait. Its unlikely that I will update my blog for the next couple of weeks. But I'll be sure to post a couple of photos of my Flickr site when I get back. Just before I go, a quick note about an exciting project that will be starting in the next couple of days. Bike Colorado 2006 will track the progress of a youth expedition as they mountain bike 1000 miles across the Rocky Mountains. Three of my good friends Clive Burgess, Mark Salmon and Paul Seys are leading the expedition. Paul who is a professional web designed has designed the expedition web site at www.bikecolorado.co.uk and included a project page which builds on the success of the www.geographyataltitude.co.uk project from 2004. I think the web site looks fantastic and Paul will be combining the best of web 2.0 (blogs, flickr, google maps, google earth etc...) to make a fantastic learning resources that will document the trip and serve as a portal for other expeditions wishing to repeat the venture in future years. I will also be using the trip as a case study in a couple of presentions during 2006/2007. Alex Frith a S6 student from Knox Academy is one of the team members and will be flying the East Lothian flag while she is away. Good luck to all the team, have a safe trip and I'll see you all when you get back.
