The mileage we are achieving may not seem remarkable. 45 day one, 81 day two,69 day three. It is plenty for the environment were are riding in. We must also remember we are on holiday. There are 14 riders with five pillion. It is not easy keeping together, espcially in the towns. Ted is our back marker or sweep. We are wearing high visibilty vests which helps to make us stand out. We re-group often. We have break downs (three yesterday)for example.
On the open road we could be spread out over one or two miles, see how Gordon has described looking back or forward whilst acending or decending and seeing some of the group in the distance.
We sight see, take photographs, we talk to the local people. We hand out goodies to the children. (We have done a school and an orphnage so far)
I am riding in shirt sleeves which some may say is foolhardy. My logic is that I prefer to be a cool calm rider than over heated and stressed. It is still refreshing to get moving again after a stop.
our stop last Night was at the Ginger hotel and excellant choice for the taveller just on the eastern side of Tirrpur Dias the manager was excellant and helped us with everything he needs a promotion
the hotel s very similar to a french accor hotel but met our very need
Our journey to Yercaud today is 92 miles. and we have to be on the bikes by 9.00am so its off soon
So far we have been lucky with the weather. This is a silly comment apparently as it just does not rain in this part of India at this time of year.
Fran Bunce has asked me to send a message to Rachel. " I love You"
