Interesting article, just a snippet:-

The women’s only ride will have an all-women crew comprising of the service staff, technicians and doctors supporting and assisting the riders throughout the journey. The participants will ride through three mountain ranges and six passes as they make their way to Khardung La, one of the highest motorable roads in the world, situated at an altitude of 18, 380 ft.

The indians do like segregating boys and girls don't they. For the way the article is written do we assume the boys' team don't get service and support crew and doctors. I don't know why they presume women can't look after themselves when my wife has been looking after me for many years.

Hi, do they go on oxygen above 10000ft like bomber crews? It must play havoc with carburation to! Vince

Vince, the EFI's ECU is mapped to 18,000+ feet, barking mad but I gather the indian army use these bikes to over 21,000. The highest road around here is barely 900-feet.
