Riding the Himalayas - Live

[JonW]

This is not my ride report, I'm just going to share pics sent to me by a friend of mine, @Winter who is currently riding in the Himalayas with a group of friends.

Some of you will have met Penny at the Zingela Bash, and some might have been on rides with her in the past. She has ridden through India a few times on her own, but I think this is the first time she has done the Himalayas.

Penny arrived at Lake Pangong today, from Leh.

There are five of them riding together, one Brit, three Indian guys and one South African.

Here is a link to a write up that she did that was published by Dirt and Trail of her trip to India last year:

I dunno

I think I'd prefer to do this trip on something with decent power and suspension

I only want to ride the bike

I don't have the guts (pun intended) for India and the cuisine.

I'd be in element WRT the food there!
The bikes....def. not my cup of tea, but for me it'd be more about the sights, the views, the place itself than the actual riding.
