In 2022 I met an incredible Belgian man in Baja California, who was breaking a world record by handbiking from Alaska to Mexico. We kept in touch and he asked if I would like to support him on his next adventure in India. He had already broken the record for the longest ever handbike. Now he wanted to break the record for the highest ever handbike ride! I said I'd love to help him and we got planning!
In May 2024 we finally set off and although I could only help for 3 weeks, I got stuck in! If you haven't watched Part 1 go back and watch that episode first!
Part 2 shows us progress north into India as push on from Udaipur to Rajsaman we take a break from the highway and go for a dip in a local lake. Cycle touring in India though wouldn't be complete without some Delhi Belly so as the boys push on to Jaipur, I help Sam get the bus to the hospital so that she can recover! In Jaipur we then become tourists for the first time in a while as we enjoy the rest days we have there by cycling up the local hill forts and visiting some incredible historic buildings.
We deal with intense heat, adjust to Indian culture and of course try lots of local cuisine!
