Arun Mohit and Somaskanda could not make it to Kalpetta in time. They slept at Periya for 6 hours in the cold , rain and fog and then came over to Kalpetta in the morning. 

I and Arun rode back to Mysore ( me on Opendro's cycle after he quit). I took a bus to Bangalore and rode back home.

Khuram and Sohan decided to trace the route.

Two riders, Sukrit and Dhanraj are headed to finish Bliss In The Hills 2017. They are the only 2 riders from a group of 16 riders who started 3 days back from Decathlon near Kengeri. They have endured cold, rains, fog, poor visibility, bad roads, uphills, downhills, heat and humidity and are probably headed home in about 85-86 hours. The end point is here https://www.google.co.in/…/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!… Watch this space for more. Will let people know in advance when the riders are likely to arriave here, but for now it looks like anytime between 3 - 6 am. #BlissInTheHillsTwo riders, Sukrit and Dhanraj are headed to finish Bliss In The Hills 2017.

congratulations to those who tried and respects to those who completed .
Special thanks and congratulations to Chiddu, Sohan and rest of the team members for another edition of our own PBP or LEL or whatever equivalents rest of the world has !
Do brain storming as to how it can gain more currency ! (Pun intended )

Sukrit does rides in Europe. He did seem to think that Bliss ranks with the best elsewhere. Its the traffic that is the dampener. Europeans would be spooked by the traffic here.

Having said that, I do hope to generate far more interest within the country next year.
After all we have sustained so far only through plain word of mouth marketing

Its a flip side this time...this is what came to my mind

France was here to ride BITH
Until now, India was going to France for PBP 

;)

And yes...Its iconic already

Seriously, BITH has all the ingredients of being an iconic ride. We have to work on that to take it up there.

I agree. But traffic is also increasing constantly. I'm not worried if congestion slows down riders. What I'm worried about is the madness I see in the highways. Chidu needs all the hands to make it bigger and bigger.

Coincidence of BITH with holidays...
Intentional or coincidental ?
Did that affect riders ?
