UK, France, Spain, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and now I land in Mumbai on May 30.

Out of all the places I have cycled so far, Turkey has been number 1, followed by Greece, then France, UK, Spain. My least favourite being Italy.

I must be crazy, as I haven't heard from anyone who has cycled solo down the west coast of India in monsoon. I can only imagine it will be wet, wild, roasting hot, and humid.

My reason for this is that I wish to be in Thailand, Lao, Cambodia, Vietnam for the drier months, and I guess at some point I'm going to have to brave some bad weather.

People cycle through snow and ice and low temperatures off the scale, but I would rather go the other way, I really hate the cold, I'm so keen on rain though to be honest :smile:

I've been to India's west coast before, but only in the dry season and not on a bicycle, so if any of you have cycled the west coast in monsoon, I would love to hear your thoughts and any advice is welcome.

Cheers
Steve
