Teams have been wobbling into Pondicherry victorious over the last few days, plenty making it in time for the Official Arrival Party.
Team ‘A Lovely Cup of Tea’ summed up their Run nicely in their arrival text message to the website:
“We made it! It’s taken 15 days over 2 countries and 6 Indian states and approximately 3100km, 80 breakdowns, 2 crashes, 2 rolls of duck tape, 50 curries and 250 loose bowel movements but it’s been one hell of an experience. Thanks to everyone who has supported us. Time for a few beers I think”
Organiser Mr Lamorna H.G (Honourary Gentleman) assures us that the Summer 2008 Run has without doubt served up the most mayhem ever seen on the three-wheeled beast since it started in 2006. Several teams dropped out and others have rolled and crashed proving that while it’s a top drawer adventure and awesome jaunt, it shouldn’t be taken lightly and in fact it’s really bloody dangerous.
The highlights are being put together into a kind of multi-media extravaganza of Rickshaw Running and will be posted somewhere on the swanky looking new website soon. We’ll post another news story here when it goes live.
