The Rickshaw Run Summer 2008 is pretty simple. With no preparation and less luggage one flies to the subcontinent and does one's damndest to force 150cc of Indian engineering over thousands of miles of questionable terrain in around two weeks.
Upon arrival in Nepal we pause briefly for a game of cricket followed by tea and cakes before revving our engines and setting off. We stop only to wet our whistles on the occasional gin and tonic at specially selected refreshment points.
Taking place twice a year, this here Challenge is the mighty Summer Edition 2008.
Start line: Kathmandu, Nepal on 1st June 2008
Finish line: Pondicherry, India about two weeks later
Distance: Depends on the route taken!
Hotter, wetter and just as stupid as the winter Run, this here Rickshaw Run Summer 2008 is the perfect way to spend a couple of weeks. The Summer Run takes two weeks to complete and starts in June. The distances involved are similar to the Winter Run, but as usual there is no set route to spoil your adventure. Starting in Kathmandu adds that little touch of putting some Himalayas in the way. Altitude, and monsoon rains added to the usual dirt tracks, jungle, bad roads and awful driving combine to make the Summer Run a fine vintage of adventure and stupidity.
