I have completed the 2006 Enduro India Rally! 2,000 km around rural Southern India in 2 weeks (11 days riding), on a classic Royal Enfield motorbike – and, despite the most appalling (sorry, interesting) local driving techniques on the planet, I am still in one piece! It has been an amazing adventure, the hardest thing I have ever done, and one of the most rewarding. Thanks again to all those that supported me, you’ll be hearing all about it when I get back and have time to edit the podcast (I’m back in Spain on Saturday 4th)
What I can say is that India is the most amazing country I have ever had the pleasure to visit, with the most radiantly friendly people I have ever encountered. If you have ever thought of doing anything like this, then all I can say is just do it! No more excuses – make a commitment to take that trip, to live in that country for a while, to start that business, to take on whatever challenge you have been procrastinating about for years… believe me, as cliched as it might sound, there is a lot to be said for living your dreams…
