Thanks. Two sets of everything including the cycling gear.

Wow, what an epic ride! Loved every bit of it, very detailed, shared with a riding friend shall do this on motorbikes, don't think my knees can put up with the effort for cycling

Fantastic write up, this even beats our group travelogue cycling across the North East as you'd done all of it solo

Brilliant

Just finished reading the whole thing. What an amazing journey, and thank you for taking us along through the detailed write ups and pictures.
Was the saddle bag (if that's what it's called, the one under your seat) enough to carry all your belongings for the trip? I have a similar one but never had the chance to use it. I have signed up for an 8 day bicycle tour in June and wondering if that will be enough.

This is the product I use - https://treknride.com/product/cyclin...ru-saddle-bag/

It's deep and using proper folding (or rolling) technique, I can fit 2 sets of daily wear + extra cycling gear + other knick-knacks easily. Also, I carry very light material clothes. I'd say it would do for your June tour (if you are open to getting it washed every other day), but I would suggest trying it for a 3-4 day trip to get an idea.

So a very good friend of mine who hosts an excellent podcast series Misadventures of a Sneaker || A travel Podcast (Link)



She recently hosted me on a podcast focusing on my cycling journey across Kerala. Here's the link to it - A Cyclist's Tale with Ninja .

Please do have a listen and do share your feedback. And if you enjoyed it, please do spread the link around

What a ride ninjatalli! Thanks for sharing and god bless TBHP’s top thanked post last year feature for taking me to it. Your thread rekindled good old cycling days. Just came back after filling some air in it and hope I can start cycling again.


Here’s my cycle bought back in 2013 IIRC. Sorry for the poor picture quality as this picture is from 2015.
