re: I broke the Guinness record for fastest cycling (solo) from Leh to Manali

This is mind-boggling. The extreme heights of the multiple passes, the rough roads, exposure to the elements of nature, the absolute fitness required, the planning required - not many can dream of doing it, far less actually achieving the feat. My deepest respects to you, Sir, and my best wishes for all future endeavours of yours.

Re: I broke the Guinness record for fastest cycling (solo) from Leh to Manali

Wow wow and simply wow!!!

Somewhere the moment I saw the thread title on the homepage, it told me it must be you... and how wrong was I!
It had to be you...!!

Many congratulations and I don't know what else, for what else can motivate you but the sheer thrill of it all.

Hats off Sriram!! It is a proud moment for us all, thank you so much for this Sir!


Cheers!

I will be penning down the entire experience in a detailed post.
Thanks
Heartiest Congratulations Lt. Col. While we all know and are proud about the strengths & prowess of our armed forces, it is more heartening to learn about a BHPian attaining / cycling to new heights.
Indian Army hain toh kuch bhi/saab kuch mumkin!!! Way more to go - achieving newer heights!!

Congratulations!

Really looking forward to more details from you on the prep and the experience, please do oblige us with a write up. I've heard that after the first 100 kms on the hills it is all about your mind, not the body! The kind of endurance and mental commitment needed for such tasks is superhuman!
