Refuge from the Cochin heat
We spent April 6 and 7 in Cochin getting to know our Rickshaw; learning to ride the beast; hunting down spae parts,tools and supplies; and meeting some of the other teams crazy enough to be a part of this

In addition to all of that prep, we participated in our Rickshaw's first photo-op. The Incredible India campaign was filming in Cochin and were keen to get the parade of pimped out rickshaws driven through the city. Cant wait to see what this video looks like!

We start our Run around 10:00 AM tomorrow morning (April 8), and hope to keep all appraised of our progress through this blog and the following website:

Love the pictures here. Next time you do this (hah), you should totally do a Tapir-mobile.
