Pushing west

Howdy folks! So did some quick calculations this morn. Including one somewhat big wrong turn south, we threw down a total of 615km yesterday, the majority of which was done at night. To make that even more impressive, our good boy Tom managed to do all that solo (well, minus ~30km we 'detoured'). Bravo sir, bravo!

Besides dodging buses and trucks on the single lane mountain roads and almost getting our windshield bashed in by an overly excited patrolman, it pretty much all went off without a hitch. Even after all the bumping and grinding last night, our muffler is holding on strong. Engine is sounding rather healthy, but Tom is still beating us by a couple kph.

After a 3hr blink of a nap, we were back up today at 7am and back on the road. Amusingly enough, we saw the Brighton boys of For Queen and Curry, and 2 other teams we saw last in Gopalpur, Shillong way to Goa and Bombay City Rollers, saddling up. I'm looking forward to seeing their faces when (or if hah!) they catch up to us!
