Anybody cycling Sri Lanka?? - 25th Aug 2011 - 1:45am

Trip - MIR - CYCLE THE BACKROADS OF SRI LANKA, Departure Date - Sunday 16th October 2011

I booked today, with my brother Tom. I'm from near Washington, DC and will meet you in Colombo if I make it through the earthquakes and hurricanes we are having. I biked with Exodus from Bangkok to Saigon last spring--with some help from a bus--and had a great trip. Really looking forward to this one. See you there. Roger Hitchner

I like traveling with you, Roger, but hope we will have some diverse companions join us.

And Me! - 2nd Oct 2011 - 6:37pm

Hi I am on this trip. Haven't got round to putting any info on about me but did the Exodus cycling in South India 3 years ago and it was truly amazing. Pete is an excellent guide and really looks after his group. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Ali, we will be glad to have your company - 3rd Oct 2011 - 1:48pm

Sounds like you know that Pete will be our leader. It is encouraging that you had a positive experience with him since a good leader makes a huge difference.

A little background -- I was a venture capitalist, funding tech companies, but left that behind to be a sloth and a tennis bum. Live half the year on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, and half outside of Baltimore, where my business was and where my wife and I raised our two girls, now grown. My brother, Roger, and I have now biked in China, on an REI tour, and in Southeast Asia on an Exodus tour (MOC). Enjoyed them both. Biking makes the local food taste even better. Once did an India tour, including Kerala, with a bus group (not Exodus) and hated sitting around all the time and staring out of bus windows. Just not the same sense of touching the landscape.

Never too late. - 9th Oct 2011 - 7:07pm

Wil and Anne--I look forward to meeting you later on this week--early some morning. Tom and I are flying in on the 14th and will spend a night and a half in Negombo before assembling at the airport at 0155. We might be better rested than folks on the flight, but probably won't know what day it is.
