With an outline of the trip ahead, leader Eshan, took 16 cyclists on a journey of discovery. We cycled highways (not too busy) and byways (minor roads, lanes and canal paths) through rural Sri Lanka, mostly completing our 60km per day in time for Rice & Curry. Crew took our bikes when we finished cycling, cleaned and serviced them ready to cycle each morning - great service. We visited significant historical locations, spectacular locations, nature reserves and local villages or shops for lunch, supporting local economy. Our group was exhilarated, a little worn-out and would recommend the trip.
