A quick update to tell you about an even more adventurous bike ride than Cycle India 2010. We have been contacted by Christopher Seymour who is organising a massive 2000km cycle ride through India and setting off soon.
The information taken from the Home Page of their website Journey to the Point reads:
4 riders from different walks of life, a mammoth 2000 km cycle ride in India….
In September we will leave Mumbai, and pedal South as far as we possibly can – all the way to Kanyakumari on the southernmost tip of India. Slightly further than from London to Rome, and a lot further than our average commute to work, we will brave the heat, mosquitoes, exhaustion (and a little bit of saddle sore) on the venture. En route we will push on through dusty coastal roads, tropical inland forests and colourful bustling cities, before climbing up into the steep Western Ghat mountains.
So, why are we doing it? Apart from an insane desire to pretend we are still young, we are also raising awareness and sponsorship for both Alex Jones and the brain tumour charity brainstrust. We also hope to promote the idea that people should not have to pay the costs of their own cancer treatment.
Heal would like to offer our support and best wishes for the team, and congratulate them on their fundraising effort for such a worthy cause.
As part of their journey they will be passing the Mysore region and may help Heal out by trialling one of the days of our bike ride, so we are very grateful for their assistance here.
