Saturday mornings are for sleeping in. But on this particular Saturday morning, I found myself up at 3:30am. Being up at such ungodly hour can mean only two things - I am leaving for a ride or a work assignment. This time, however, it was a little bit of both.
Last minute packing panic was dealt with, the charger I almost forgot was tucked in, the cab was called and very soon I found myself at the rally point. this particular edition of the Himalayan Odyssey was special for a reason: for the first time, there was a ride exclusively for female riders. 20 of them to be precise. The men's edition was more than 80 strong.
I am happy to report that all the riders made it to the final rally point 10 kilometres on the outside of Chandigarh. We rolled into Chandigarh, a column of 80 riders. The range of bikes, the outlandish (to the common people, at least) turned many a head.
The first day was the proverbial tip of the iceberg. The destination for the day was Manali. While most riders were excited about tackling the hills, I was looking forward to it for a very different reason. I hate this heat. I need some Himalayan chill.(Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey is currently underway.
