“If you can cycle this, you can cycle anywhere in the world”
…commented one of the 10,000 members of Delhi Cyclists (of which only a handful have ever attempted it) and he was technically right. Because I’ve just ridden it and still able to ride, anywhere - because I made it to the end, alive.
The 1,700km from Delhi to Mumbai. On a carbon road bike, in 10 days. Powered on ten curries and 40-degree heat.
Only 7.5hrs on a plane and 50 miles on a bike, same planet, different world.
This was probably the most memorable, fun and dangerous ten days of my life. a crazy bike ride, taking in some of the most historical sights on earth; Taj Mahal, Udaipur, Puskar and Jaipur, alongside the friendliest & welcoming people…camels, monkeys and elephants. Truly knackered thou."
Come and meet Chris and hear his stories, and how you too can cycle the route ‘no one cycles’.
Craft beer, Square mile coffee and curry will be available on the night.
