Tour of the Nilgiris: Gear up for the exciting ride! Posted on September 2, 2009September 2, 2009 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!

And two contests – for an official blogger and a photographer are going to be declared soon!
