While Graham had taken most off the TDF awards and Saiyed the most improved Pete and I settled for the impressive geriatric award for persons 60+ proving that you are never too old to get off that couch and challenge yourself !
With a few days to kill i took the opportunity to enjoy some of the beautiful surrounds by trekking for 4 days down the Sahm Valley in terrain that looked almost biblical !
Surprisingly after 3 weeks of high altitude cycling trekking at 3500 metres was still pretty tough suggesting that some muscle groups had not been pulling their weight over the previous 3 week cycling period !
Back in Leh and with some time to reflect on an amazingly tough and beautiful cycle trip I'm greatful for the company of my fellow cycling companions Pete, Graham & Saiyed and the fantastic support offered by our embarrassingly large support team particularly Raj, Nannuck, Sabu and Geyshu !
As for the next adventure who knows there's just too much to choose from !
