[Prashanth Chengi]

They now have to start the climb to Boys Town, or is the route different, Rafi? It's a hard climb. If the roads have been improved since 2016, it'll make it easier, but there is not much wiggle room. They have to make it to Kalpetta, rest and continue. There's no buffer that can allow for a period of rest, or even to cover for mechanical trouble of any kind. Keeping fingers crossed.

regards

Prashanth.

[Mohammad Rafi Shaik]

Dear all,

Bliss in the hills official results updated in site. Congratulations Arun, Shun, Bharat.
https://brevetmgr.appspot.com/brevet/BITH-2019/results

With regards
Rafi

[Opendro]

Congratulations Arun, Shun and Bharat on finishing the BITH. Tough luck with Ashutosh who had to give up after a lot of troubles with gear shift and finally a broken rear derailleur.

Congratulations Shun for having finished BITH twice.

See you all next year.

[Prashanth Chengi]

Is it only Open and Shun, who have now finished BITH more than once, or are there other members in the the more-than-one finish club?

Heartiest of congratulations to all of the three: Bharat, who I read rode despite a fever or something, and also had to grapple with some mechanical issues, and the clinical ride by Shun and Arun!

regards
Prashanth
