Tour of the Nilgiris: Gear up for the exciting ride!

September 2nd, 2009  |  Published in Cycling, DesiPundit, India & Around, Sports, Sports & Adventure, Travel  |  7 Comments

8 days, 900 kms!

The Tour of Nil­giris mean­ders through the famed Blue Moun­tains of South India immers­ing you in the stun­ning land­scape, bio-diversity, cul­ture and her­itage of Kar­nataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

This is the sec­ond edi­tion of the Tour of Nil­giris, fondly called TFN. As the name sug­gests, it is a tour and not a race. On the tour you get to ride with 70 like-minded rid­ers on what could be the jour­ney of a lifetime.

The dates:
Decem­ber 15–23, 2009

To get a taste of what hap­pened dur­ing the last TFN, click here!

The bad news is of course that the reg­is­tra­tions to the TFN are now closed! But the good news is that you can fol­low the action as it unfolds. And two con­tests — for an offi­cial blog­ger and a pho­tog­ra­pher are going to be declared soon!

Watch out for more news as the excit­ing event unfolds…
