Number 1 holiday destination in the world?

Responsibletravel.com has just selected New Zealand as the winner and best overall destination for their 2008 Responsible Tourism Awards. Which makes us pretty excited to be heading there in February for our new South Pacific Singletrack mountain bike trip.

Have you been to New Zealand? Know anyone who's been? Want to go?

We'd love to hear your stories (we've never been ourselves) and any wisdom you can share with us beforehand. Please leave your comments by clicking on the comment button below.

Sacred Rides selected as one of the Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth

I've just learned that National Geographic Adventure magazine has selected Sacred Rides Mountain Bike Holidays as one of their top Adventure Travel Companies on Earth for 2009. Normally I don't pay a ton of attention to magazine lists and rankings, since they're mainly just a way to sell magazines, but this is a huge honour.

NGA has a stringent selection process and making the list was the culmination of a long process that ranked our company according to various criteria, including quality of service, sustainability, education, and client experience.

It's nice to see your efforts rewarded and recognized, and I'm proud of all the hard work by our staff that led to this award.

The issue comes out in January 2009. Look for it on your newstand and join us for your amazing ride in 2009!
