#31 Re: Ride Report: The India Ride Expedition - day 16
09-18-2012, 05:16 AM
Day 16: Today was a fantastic day. Colin fully recovered from his food poisoning and the team completed an incredibly arduous 401km over perfect modern highways and pothole covered dirt roads. In many ways today was a day of extremes, as we had some of the best roads that we've encountered on our journey, as well as some of the worst. Leaving Vadodara very early we headed south on National Highway #8 and completed some serious kilometers early in the day. And again, like most days, the moment we left the National Highway and took a secondary road the quality of road deteriorated and left everyone thinking we were back on day 4 on the Rohtang Pass. By late in the day, as the sun began to set, we finally rolled in to the Sula Vineyards just outside of Nashik. The destination was chosen because the vineyards are situated in the mountains and offered respite from the challenging heat of the last few days. That coupled with the fact that very few people, including both Colin and Ryan, had realized that India is producing some high quality wines.
