We did the spice tour this morning. It’s always interesting. If there was a downside, it was that all the wet weather meant that there were plenty of mosquitos around. We were swatting so much, the guide ran back and got some repellent for us. ...

Abby G. took a spill on the way to Kodaikanal and ended up having to leave asap along with her mother, Jean, so that she could have things checked out...

We woke up to rain. It wasn’t raining when we started but it did rain on us. The ride in to Thekkady was via all back roads. The hills are short and steep. Allen said it reminded him of Croatia. I think that is where the similarities end. Thekkady is only 28k from Kattappana. ...

Miracle of miracles. After raining all night, it stopped raining so we got most of the day’s ride in without getting wet. I say most, because it started raining again at 4pm. We got wet, but at least we did not have to spend the day wet. ...

It’s 6:30am in the morning and I have just looked out the window. It’s raining outside now and it’s been raining all night as far as I can tell. In fact, it’s been raining almost ever since we arrived. It’s damp everywhere. I can’t really say that it is cold. The locals...

Well today started out well enough. We got off a little after 6am. It was cloudy and kind of cool. We had breakfast on the road. Once we got into Indira Ghandi National Park it started to rain. Sometimes it was light and other times it was heavy...

I started this blog to follow my training and subsequent charity cycle ride from Bangkok to Saigon in November 2008. This year I am cycling in India in November. Although a motorist ran into me in February and broke my collar bone, that nearly ended that ambition!

India is not the safest place to ride a bike. Up to now we really haven’t had any serious spills. That changed today when some guy with a cart behind his bike pulled into the road without looking at what was coming. ...

I helped the fisherman a little this morning with their catch and then we had a ride to Varkala Beach and back. Today was a little different as far as the fishing goes. It’s Sunday which means that only Muslim fisherman are on the beach. ...

Had a nice 30k ride up to Varkala Beach. I putmy bike together and Graeme and I rode up to Varkala Beach. I had forgotten about how important it is to pay attention to road hazards in India. I only had to ride into one pothole to be quickly reminded...

I’m now zeroing in on Trivandrum, India. It is a long 17 hours of flying time. I can’t say that flying is my favorite thing. Interesting things do happen though. The guy in the seat next to me on the long flight from JFK to Abu Dhabi was hypoglycemic. He...

Friends of Far and Away Cycling This was in the in-flight magazine. I'm actually at a loss for words....who hasn't thought that this would be just the thing while in the rapture of the deep?
