Title: Sri Lanka trip
Post by: Matt2matt2002 on February 18, 2016, 07:51:14 PM

Anyone toured?
Ritchie has helped out but I wonder if anyone else has been there?
I have 29 days on the island.
FIFO
Crazy guy site has been good for tips but no Thorn riders.

Sounds pretty good, Matt!  I don't have any experience there, but two friends in Toronto recently spent a couple of weeks there cycling with friends. They enjoyed their time. Happy to send you an email addr and an e-intro, if you can find no Thorn readers/riders.

Cheers,

John

Hi Matt

I toured in Sri Lanka about 6 years ago (on a Thorn). Blog on Crazyguy (https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/page/?o=tS&page_id=140644&v=E4). Spent all my time in and around the southern mountains. At the time the Tamil north of the country was off limits to tourists but my main reason for staying in the mountains was to escape the heat. Well that, and I'm not a beach person.
