Most Inspirational Moment
Oh my word I absolutely loved every single moment, I saw so much, felt so much, enjoyed so much being on the bike and right there in the life of India, the hussle and bussle of the cities, the quiet of the countryside, the children calling out to us, the people all wishing us well along our way, the temples, the wildlife, the sun, the rain, the ocean, the food....I had come alone and so many times I wished my family there just to see what I was seeing, to hear what I was hearing, to smell what I was smelling....it was all awe inspiring....fantastic.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was brilliant, he seemed very knowledgeable about all the places he took us to, he was also very interested in us as a group and what our life was like at home. He always seemed concerned about our well being and making sure we had everything that we needed, nothing seemed like too much trouble.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you want to do this trip, you will need a certain level of fitness, do some hill work for sure, and not be timid in busy traffic situations. It's going to be hot most of the time but not unbearable and you do acclimatise. I didn't take my own saddle and pedals but if I was to do it again I would bring my own saddle for sure, as for the clip on pedals, I advise leave them at home, you will spend your entire trip clipping in and out especially in the towns, and even way out in the villages as you do have to have your wits about you at all times. Don't worry about money, cashpoints readily available, but do inform your bank about where you are going.Take insect repellent you will need it, and don't forget your camera because this is one trip you will never want to forget.
