An exhilarating ride. during my cycle ride last year in the himalayas, there were plenty of exhilarating descents like that. i was particularly looking forward to this pass called rohtang. from the top which is about 13000-odd feet it comes down to a town called manali (6,000-odd feet) over 40 km or so. when i actually reached the place the weather was so bad, it was raining hard and the road was so slushy and muddy that i waited for sometime and hitched a ride down in a pick-up. the most thrilling ride i never had :) > The next day I fell off at 2mph and broke my wrist. i do remember the xray peso :) -- regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
