Shyok to Hundar via Khalsar Today's trip is a total of 107km traveled with an
elevation gain of 801m. At this point in the ride, the cyclists have
completed 4 difficult days and are reaching their limits. The thin
air, intense elevation, and rough kilometers remind them of the
daily realities that Nepalese migrant workers
experience. Wherever possible, the team makes time to
connect with Nepalese roadside workers, a community of people who
build and maintain mountain roads under incredibly difficult
conditions. Although the circumstances are extremely precarious,
this is how Nepalese workers provide for their families. In these
moments of connection, the team is reminded that they are riding to
provide an opportunity for education which is key to breaking the
cycle of poverty.
Check out Mike's video below that gives an eye into the
challenging biking conditions that the team is going through to
finish this ride!
**Our update from yesterday has been edited to include the most
accurate info available! Turns out that biking in high altitude
conditions in the Himalayas doesn't allow for the best service to
ensure consistent updates ;) But we've been able to chat with the team
this morning and can now provide corrected info from the last three days!
