Yesterday when I was leaving for a meeting in the morning I got a reply to a status update I had requested from one prospective sponsor. Things were still in the pipeline and things seemed to be moving in the right direction. When I got back in the evening and I checked my mail there was a regret mail from him. This was one organisation I really wished would have come on board. And should have considering they have been fairly regularly associated with international adventure events. And an association with OneHelluvaRide would have been really good for them. But, as the old cliche goes – c’est la vie.
A second prospect is developing and looks good so far. Maybe by next week we should hear a yes or no. Till then fingers are crossed.
Meanwhile I have been working on another expedition, albeit a much smaller one, before OneHelluvaRide. This one is a month long ride all over the Indian sub continent in an attempt to gain four world records. Let us see how that turns out. Click on the link below and take a look at the promotional video and let me know what you think.

How are things? Hope to see new updates on your blog about the trip!

Hey Preeti, things seem to have slowed down a bit. A lot actually. The revised date of July has been shifted yet again. The same old story – funding. The efforts are continuing and the hope is as strong as ever. Maybe next year. Come to think of it, I need to blog a little more often. Cheers mate. Chandan
