India: North to South on a bike!

So this is my 6th trip to India and this time thought I'd look for more of a challenge. Therefore, I'm cycling from Srinagar to Kanyakumari(southern tip) starting in July and finishing in September to raise money for MERLIN(check them out!). I am aware that this is during the monsoon.
Am looking for any other crazy souls who might be interested in joining the ride for some of the way, as the person who was suppoised to come with me had an unfortunate injury to his crown jewels which means he cant cycle. Alternatively, anyone who maybe fancies exploring but isn't up for cycling is welcome to join on the vehicle of their choice.
any advice, questions or general messages of warning feel free to message me!

Man, thats ambitious.

Just thought of Wishing you the best and suggest to post this on bikeszone.com/forum. You never know. Someone may join (may be even for parts of the trip, or invite you for a beer or to couchsurf.

I might be interested in joining you in the south.. I'm in Bangalore and am thinking about planning a bike tour for October. Would be great to meet up and hear of your experience. New to India Mike, so don't know how to private message, but hit me up if you know how.

thanks for the best wishes guys. hi hannah we're cycling along the coast by the time we get level with Bangalore(avoid the western ghats, too much climbing for me). It would probably also be at the end of August we'd be cycling there.

It takes a small post count + period of membership here to be able to send or receive PM's (private messages).

Neither you nor Richtea will be able to as of yet. Besides patiently growing into the forum, you could set up a disposable webmail address for the purpose.

RichTea,
They used to be my favourite biscuits!
Sounds like a fantastic experience. I can't offer any company at all but I can offer you my best wishes ( and a smidgen of jealousy)for a successful and safe trip.
