A new mountain bike trail is being developed around Lake Kinneret in Israel that, when complete, will be more than 114 kilometers (about 71 miles). Like alot of new trail development these days, the idea is to use the trails to bring in tourism dollars as bikers look for places to stay and eat during the round trip (estimated to take about 4 days).

No need to worry about acclimating to the altitude either: much of the trail is below sea level! The project has a number of backers and supporters so it looks like this thing should actually be complete on time in 2008. Book your plane tickets now!
