Still India!

We spent most of our time ‘off the beaten track’ and at the regular stops in villages for ‘chai’ quickly became the centre of attention. It was the same en route with bystanders waving and smiling for all they were worth.

The roads varied, some very rough and potholed, some ‘under repair’, and some serious mud (which I managed to fall off in much to the rest of the group’s amusement). There was quite a bit of ‘falling off’ but none of it serious. There was also quite a bit of ‘off road’ biking as a result of being pushed off the road by a truck or bus.

The best way of imagining the style of riding would be to think of Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.
