Do the C2C with your boyfriend. Its a great route, through scenic (and romantic) countryside and there are some great B&Bs and hotels en route.\n\nYou can both dip your wheels in the Irish Sea at the start and  then in the North Sea at the end (hence C2C - Coast to Coast).\n\nHave fun!\n\nBy the way - your boyfriend has good taste in pressies!

You can go to the Reno Parks & Rec site for information on everything in Reno.  The website under the Sources section lists all parks in the area and their amenities, including bike paths.\n\nEventually, there will be a bike trail from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, following the Truckee River (more info available at http://www.tpbikeway.org/).\n\nGood luck!

Just about anywhere as long as you have an ORV sticker.The bike doesn't need to be street legal and as long as you stay off the U.S. and state highways you are good to go.

If your anywhere near Yorkshire, I could do with a crew, for sailing trips, both in Yorkshire and the Lake District, Been sailing since I was 7, so should be able to show you what to do?\nDon't be scared to get wet, but an RYA level 1 or 2 course will give you a good starting platform.\nI would suggest going on a course, as there is so much you pick up that is very hard to put into writing, such as wind awareness etc...

You can do it on either frame.  Just put slicks on the Scape.  Mt. Hamilton is a easy climb, just long.  19 miles overall with 17 miles up and 2 miles down in the middle.  Personally, I would prefer the Orca.  What you didn't say is if you want to ride the front or the back.  The road in the front was built in the late 1800s for horse and buggy.  Grades are gentle.  The back is the good workout.  Not built for horse and buggy.

Not sure what tracks they have in India?  Check out some bike web sites, but the best thing to do is finish what you studying just incase the bike puts a end a future you currently busy in, then take a few trips to London where you can get used to Brands Hatch and Silverstone, if money is not the option move to the U.K. and get into the standard biking class where some of the big sponsers might be able to help. Get the Doctors auto biography and read how he did it, that is why i am sure he stays in the U.K. as all the big guys sponser wise is from there.  Sounds like you really are passionate about it so thats the best way to begin, maybe check out some bike shops in the U.K. and see if you can get a job from them first and work as a pit crew if the shop has one.  Im from South Africa and support Vale too, but from here most of our top riders go to the U.K. live out of trailors and try and get there name into the sport as soon as they can as it becomes for costly but then again as i said if money isnt the option go over and follow what you dream of doing, i think all bike riders like myself would like to be like all the top riders!!!  It takes alot serious hard work but GO 4 IT!!!!

Hmmm... Might be tricky to get to, but you can try Hemel ski centre ( http://www.hemel-ski.co.uk/home.htm ).  To be honest though, learning to snowboard on a dry slope will be a painful experience, which leaves you the choice of going to Xscape in Milton Keynes http://www.xscape.co.uk/ (which is a bit expensive) or just waiting until December when you can use a real slope with real snow!
