A ........ Daisy River said it was a very challenging,
unsupported ride due to the very wet weather and strong winds all around the
coast. “The biggest excitement happened with 3 kilometres to climb of the huge mountain. I was
caught in a hailstorm. It was almost impossible to pedal. Total mileage was 3.056, the weight on my
1
bike was around 15 kilos. However, it was a rat race and I had to win. I tried my utmost and kept on
pedalling. After a few hours of effort, I saw the fi nish line,” said Daisy.

where only the strong and the adventurous are able to survive. This race is an ultimate challenge and
