COLD START, WARM FINISH. The road leading north from Lalitpur was smooth. We’re thankful for simple gifts at this point…like a relatively smooth road. When we began at 6:45 am the temperature was 52 degrees Fahrenheit; our fingers were numb and we were chilled (we know this sounds like whining to those of you mired in freezing temps, but it’s all relative, right?). But by 9:00 am it was 70; by noon it was over 80 degrees. Yep, an American Midwestern September day. The 96 kilometers / 60 miles went by uneventfully and quickly. We were in Jhansi, our day’s destination, by 12:30 pm. Photo: Yogish warms up his hands by the fire at our early morning roadside tea stop.MARIA ACKERMAN HOYT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. We are hosted again by a Christian hospital, one of a network of Christian hospitals across India. The Maria Ackerman Hoyt Memorial Hospital has 110 beds, a
nursing school, and gifted medical staff. They serve the city and surrounding countryside’s poor. Photo: A young Indian cyclist. Will he ride 2,000 miles across his homeland someday?Thanks for your interest & involvement. Check back often for updates. Learn more @ www.bikeindia.org.
