1,200 Mile Happy Journey from Mumbai to Kolkata
Calcutta at last. Or rather…Kolkata. The past 1,200 miles from Mumbai to Kolkata have been one of the hardest pushes on the tour. That is to say, that I have not ridden at a steadier, faster pace for a long time. Not since being in the U.S.A. Perhaps it is also to say that India […]
India, part 1.
Throughout this tour, it seems as though people have been telling me, “wait until you get to India….” “…It was a hot day today…” “…Nice city, but a bit noisy…” “…Traffic a bit thick out there…” “…Lots of people out this afternoon….” “Wait until you get to India…” These six words became a sort of […]

Keffalonia, Greece
Jenine and I have now made our way from Athens west across the Peloponnese to the island of Keffalonia. The ride to get here has been great, involving some positive aspects and some negative. On the bright side we have enjoyed some delicious food (Greek Salad, Pasta, pitas, kalamaki (meat on a stick), tsatsiki, and […]
