If anyone is behind us and has the foolish idea that we had to go to allahabad from rewa along the n7-don't. Dirt road doesn't even come close! Despite hours of dust and sore arses we did have some fun off roading and breaking through amateur road blocks! Saw the aftermath of some mental crashes! All is well and we're now passing out in our hotel ready for Varanasi tomorrow. X @

150k north of Belgaum and we know it's a dog eat dog world but what about a dog eating another dogs insides via the bumhole. Yum.

On the road load of us in convoy! Drunkenly lost the indian phone last night, so this bloody update is costing me 40p on the uk phone! All very exciting here, everyone seems excited and happy and apart from a few hiccups with fuel everything is running smoothly... So far! X

third time attempt at texting! Hungover exhausted and 1 crash later we are ready for the beach party! Planning to steer clear of the red bulls and vodka! X@
Nearly time to burn some rubber...
After 3 months of travelling across the Caucasus, in Dubai and Abu Dabi where we stayed with Graeme from the lovely Abu Dabi Rickshaw Green Team, and finally having arrived in India 2 weeks ago, the Rickshaw Run rapidly approaches!
We are ready and raring to go having acclimatised to the humidity, the noise and most importantly to spicy breakfasts!
 We head to Goa tomorrow and will be slumming it in the cheapest homestay we can find and sunning ourselves (hopefully inbetween the downpours) until a few days before the Run starts when we'll be heading to the Longuinas (?) Hotel to live it up with a pool and everything before heading off on our arduous journey along with the 60-odd other teams!
 We'll be updating this blog with text messages regularly so follow us here!

I am a lady who likes to make things, and to keep me sane while we race (slowly) across India, I will hopefully be knitting. Mr Wade will no doubt be unwilling to trust me to do the driving despite the fact that unlike him I have never driven into the back of someone, albeit at about 0.5 miles an hour. No doubt this will cause some healthy debate, and no doubt I will kick his ass and be way speedier and more efficient in the driving seat! I am looking forward to the beautiful scenery, the crazy busy cities, and the cows that stop traffic. PS. despite our team name, I personally like it mild to moderately hot. Not HOT HOT.
Fundraising fun...
