          Thats too much of riding considering its all hills post Jammu and riding time from Pathankot to Srinagar is going to be close to 10-12 hours atleast. Lot of night riding today for sure.

              Try telling that to them! They still want to ride in the night!
              By the time they are back, they would have turned into Zombies!

                Infact IMO, they should avoid night riding as much as they can.. With regards to the safety & the scenic part as well.!

                    They will surely miss out on a vista like this coz of night riding....



                    And this...



                    Sad that they will miss the transformation of terrain from Jammu to Kashmir, especially post the Jawahar Tunnel.

                    I guess they timed themselves based on the amount of time they took for riding in the plains in the last few days.

                    Anyways, I hope they do speed up and reach quickly. Coz else they would be starting late tomorrow too. But they can afford a bit of delay tomorrow if they are just going till Drass and not all the way will Kargil. Srinagar-Drass can be managed in about 5 hours with ease.

                      yes.as per alankar night riding was only uptill srinagar.Hope they don't stop too much now.

                      knowing them very well they rip fast & than take extended breaks thus loosing out on total time.

                      hope now they learn something

                            I hope they are all taking the bypass. Will save them 40-50 kms.

                              Its easy to miss if one is ripping. Lets wait for their update to come in. I sincerely hope the road condition has not worsened since last year.
