The Rickshaw Run

There were many ways to participate in the Rickshaw Run. Some teams chose to form convoys and spread out their experience of India over two weeks. Others chose to race competitively from Kochi to Darjeeling in a balls out race to the finish. The three podium finishers were the Rajasthan Raiders, the Calamity Crew, and the Dosa Boys. They completed the run in little over a week.

The Calamity Crew (great group of guys with the best bassline in India) from South London, not realizing that the Rajasthan Raiders had finished some 17 hrs before them, texted their friends back home that they had won the Rickshaw Run. To their dismay, they found out later that they came in second. Making matters worse, the Calamity Crew came in second to Americans!!! The Rajasthan Raiders also labelled by the Calamity Crew as the Yankers are a team from the Midwest. Well done fellas!!! Wait till the Crew have to make the announcement in their pub back home.
