Mountain Biking in Kerala, India 2010

Been riding trails up in the Mountains of Kerala since mid January. Absolutely stunning scenery and plenty of trails for all standards. Most days riding about 30km mostly brown trails, with a red or black each day. Riding with Mike and Rakesh from Mountain Bike Kerala and most strongly recommend one of their trips. Lots of rock, drop offs, crazy switchbacks, tough uphill sections but most of all great company and fun. Only taken 1 puncture in 10 days but been over the handlebars way too many times. A few superficial injuries and heading back down today to the beautiful beach at Varkalla for a well earned bit of R&R. Eating local food from roadside stores at 50p a meal, damned tasty but don't be put off by lack of hygiene. All the locals eat here and after the apprehension of the first few meals it's great, tasty and cheap. I reckon all in it's a 10 pound a day holiday of a lifetime in Kerala once you've paid for flights. However essential to try and avoid the tourist spots where that budget would quadruple.

Evenings consist of a cold quiet beer, cards and great conversation. The local people are brilliant and very friendly with most speaking a bit of English. Don't hesitate give it a try. I'm back on the 15th Feb and looking forward to running the early season Powerboat, Day Skipper & Kayak Courses. See you all soon.... Mike

Snowboarding Austria then Mountain Biking Kerala...lucky me

Just back from Snowboarding in Mittersil, Austria with the team. Stayed in the castle, favoured haunt of Himler complete with scary dungeons used for local witches since the 13th century. Absolutely brilliant fun with plenty of high speed falls due to the slopes becoming icy towards the end of the week. Add some cross country Ski a 14 km non stop sledge ride and Ice Climbing on a frozen waterfall and the old body is creaking and groaning this week.

Leaving for Kerala in India on Saturday 16th January back 14th February. Riding some epic trails in the mountains of the Western Ghats...This will finish me off nicely. Customers don't despair,normal service starts from mid Feb. For bookings best to email perfectdaywatersports@gmail.com or use the contact part of the website at www.perfect.uk.com Picking up email every couple of days.

Enjoy a few of those magic moments...
