King Of The Good Times

  3 days into the 1st Kerala tour of the year and it has been a cracker. Just completed a crossing of the western ghats mountains on the bikes. A route pioneered by myself and Sheffield Mike with help from Rakesh of Nepal and Lord Welington who it is claimed was the 1st to cross the mountains here on foot. Views and riding incredible. 2000m descent, 3
hours down with  about 30 minutes of unrideable stuff in there which is too overgrown or too tech. Pankaj riding well today, he has a look of a Erryl Flynn about him at present with his dashing moustache. He thinks he looks better without it but its immovashavable at this stage as it is covering up a nasty cut and a puffed split lip the result of a head 1st over the bars into a tea bush. Didn't/couldn't speak for two days and looked decidedly miserable. More astute observers of
this blog willl notice there is no mention of beer in it so won't mention it then which will upset the official sponsors of Mountain Bike Kerala, the worlds premium not above 5% beer;  Kingfisher the King of Good Times...
