READY TO RIDE - DAY ONE

POST #4




















READY FOR DAY ONE. As I post this entry, we are ready to head out on the first leg of our Nagercoil to New Delhi trek. Today’s ride is to be a 130 kilometer ride, one of the longest we have planned. It will first take us south to the southern-most tip of India. We hope to dip the wheels of our bikes in the Indian Ocean at Kanniyahumari (Cape Cormorin). Then we plan to ride north along the east Indian coast. We have been invited to stay at the youth hostel overnight.

WHY WE RIDE. As we begin this core part of our journey, we are very much aware of the support and prayers of many people. We are grateful beyond words. Such care and concern give depth and joy to our journey. Our hope, first and foremost, is that our effort will result in a rebuilt and revitalized Umri Christian Hospital. May care translate into open hearts that are willing to make a donation to the project.


Thanks for your interest & involvement. Check back often for updates. Learn more @ www.bikeindia.org.
