Truckie ride to Spiti / Kinnaur 2016 - 23-27 March. Anyone game?
Folks,
Good morning. This is nothing but a repeat of http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/2...12-ex-del.html
Except I am currently riding solo without even the missus for company. The P180 is replaced by a shiny new CBR, so things will be quicker this time around. Of course, if there is some work related crap which comes up at the last moment, I may have to make it a three day kinnaur ride, but there's like 1% chance for that.
There is no plan except to get to Spiti and ride as far as I can. Or explore the himalayas if the route is closed. We'll make something up but it'll be one hell of a ride - that much I will ensure
The plan is for a mostly boringly hectic ride-ride with a fairly disciplined riding day that starts at 5/6am and least possible breaks. This is not a count-the-butterflies or shutterbugs' ride. This is how truckers do it - start early and keep away at it at a reasonable speed - no rash riding.
Don't get me wrong - I like to sightsee leisurely and do bakar as much as the next person , but on my limited schedule I want to cover as much ground as possible, and see as many places - but I won't be stopping every 20 minutes to take a photo or a chai/sutta break!
Show of hands? Drop me a line in case anyone's interested.
