点评:This is the second tour I have been on with MTB kerala (2016 C-2-C and 2025 Himalayas), in addition, I have joined a few short trips around kuttikkanam on separate visits to Kerala. Mike and the team have become firm friends since I first met them in 2016 (on the South India Coast-to-Coast). Mike’s decades (!) long experience of living, riding, researching, logistics-arranging in India is more than admirable, he is a modest font-of-all-knowledge of this vast, colourful, chaotic and at times patience-wearing land and I take my helmet off to him for carving a life that combines his love for riding, adventure, and being anywhere but the north-west of England (I can say that as a fellow Lancastarian/Mancunian!). I look forward to my next trip, and who knows, I might even give the Himalayas another blast, kinda got a taste for that thin air!
翻译:这是我第二次参加喀拉拉山地自行车赛(2016年参加C-2-C骑行,2025年参加喜马拉雅骑行)。此外,我还参加了几次在喀拉拉邦库蒂卡纳姆周边的短途骑行。自从2016年我第一次见到Mike(在南印度海岸到海岸骑行赛上)以来,他们就成了挚友。Mike在印度生活、骑行、研究和安排后勤的数十年经验令人钦佩,他对这片广袤、多彩、混乱、有时甚至需要耐心的土地了如指掌。我脱下头盔向他致敬,感谢他热爱骑行、冒险,热爱去英格兰西北部以外的任何地方(作为一个兰开斯特/曼彻斯特的同乡!)。我期待着我的下一次旅行,谁知道呢,说不定我还会再去喜马拉雅山探险一番,感受一下那里稀薄的空气!
