Traumerei: How would it be?

  10 days before the start of a long ride, daydreaming and anxiety and some preparations yet to be done...
  Planning to start rolling on 16Feb2013 across India(vertically). Some friends are to flag off the journey, while some might extract the essence of the tour of the nilgiris by the initial stretch where I roll southwards(despite the big climbs at Ooty and Munnar) till Kanyakumari. Then starts the solo pedalling journey towards the the western most tip of India where I hope to endure and admire the harsh climate of Kutch in the month of March and then towards the north: as far and as much as I can go. Kutch-Rajasthan is expected to be a suffer-fest towards the end of March. But then there is that charm of the desert-suffer and a comfortable desert ride is never the true experience of a desert. The survival strategies would change colours in the cool and cold Kashmir and later in the chilling Ladakh and Nubra Valley, about which I dream the most :)
  The confidence is rising, but uncertainty and anxiety remain the essential toppings of an exciting adventurous vacation. Having been to most of the 'harsh' places (experience overestimated? hope not!) might be an added feather on my helmet. Signing off for now though the dream continues.

P.S.: Will miss the cycling capital of India and its citizens.
