Btw, that picture is from a small hamlet in Southern Ecuador. The nature, mountains stole my heart and i couldn't continue into Peru which was a mere day's ride away..

Below is a link to my South American ride.

Sadly, my bicycle has seen less action in India.

Hoping to bikepack along the South-eastern Indian states to Himalayas this August-Oct..

Nice picture! You are really loaded there. The landscape in the background looks lush and inviting. Is that taken in India?
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it would be a pleasure to ride in this area with a good companion.
I wish there was a way to do reactions to posts with emoticons.

Hello Jesper, your comment about letting the air through hair made me chuckle..I am in a similar boat/on a bicycle with my head starting to shine more and more..:-)

Btw, i avoid electronics as much as possible still travel the old school if in a new territory. Asking "strangers" for ditections/help. Many a times those have been the best routes compared to what GoogleMap might have sent me on.

So, most of my blog photos are from my phone taken primarily tell my folks why I do what I do..:-)

One of my riding buddies in South américa carried a SLR and a drone but i was happy with my phone. Probably, would have been happier without it but had to keep the family posted..:-)

Btw, the following picture is of an Ecuadorian tribesman who wanted to exchange my bike for his horse..:-)



Nice horse. I would have made the trade, if it included the tack with the horse!
