You read my Spiti Bicycle Ride Notes, your saw the photos;
Now on a lighter note, here are my favourite WTF moments from the Spiti Valley Bicycle Ride.
1. 21kms for that 3kms - We had taken a couple of days halt at Tapri; and at least I in my mind was relaxed because next day
we had
to cover only 25kms to reach Reckong Peo, of which only last 5kms is uphill. Rest all just a cruise parallel to the river.
But when we began this day, within exit of Tapri we saw a 21kms uphill diversion to Chooling due to landslide. Chooling my friends was just 3kms
away from the diversion via the regular route.
For a mere 3kms we were off on a uphill path of 21kms.
WTF; Shoot me now.
2. Why Pedal Downhill!3. Wind in My Face, Please No Thanks - On a motorcycle the wind in your face is quite pleasing; but here on 0 BHP wind in
face
means pedaling against the wind to the last light.
Post Rampur we always got head wind after 3pm until Manali.
WTF; The feeling was like pedaling on the indoor cardio cycling machine with constant level 10 mode.
4. Where the Hell is All the Food Going5. Mr. Turkey WanderlustBiker.com - 5 WTF Moments from the Spiti Valley Bicycle Ride and Spiti Valley on a BICYCLE.
Also when we did the Chandra Tal trek, Jamaica requested me to make a video presentation of it. This is the one I was able to cook up. Dedicated
to Jamaica and his service to the people visiting Chandra Tal.
