Thank you for all the encouraging messages of support. These will keep me going during the difficult periods I will encounter on my journey.

This undoubtedly would be an experience of a lifetime, or perhaps many lifetimes. Whilst you take such huge strides patiently along the silk route, connecting to your true spirit with no boundaries or fears, the rest of the world seems to be gripped with so many problems and its only way out is by taking small steps and rather quickly. We wonder what you are feeling, whether it is bliss and contentment, nothing or everything? Keep cycling - you're not too far from your destination, whether it be Beijing or some other place - only you will know.

You'd be surprised how far your name has spread: nevermind six degrees of separation, there are people much further removed from you who are silently cheering you on. Good luck and best wishes. Celia (mother of lazy good-for-nothing friend of yours from Woodhouse)

Its great to hear about your cycling to Beijing in the purpose to spread peace allover the world general and China especially.This is the right time, as China is becoming clearer to the outside world everytime of their suppresion on human right in China, Tibet, Xinjiang, Sudan and Myanmar.I am sure,no socially concerned people will criticise your voluntary service for the world. Keep it up. If best, go through ethnic Tibetan area in Xian. My pray is with you.

Hi Miheer! "Burn in Faith have self confidence & hope. You will always be young and full of energy " Mate! reading about you gives me a lot of encouragement that there are youth in this world who believe in peace and put their energy in the right direction. All the best from the land of the long white cloud.

hello. Read about news of your journey. People do these kinds of things when they want a break from their routine. what let you to follow the path just because someone else did. And why to collect donations for Darfur. Why not go for something else. Is it really worth to do such an effort. Are you planning to be a marathon cyclist? It would have been better to go to India in some poor part of Bihar and encouraging people in distress rather than going to China and showing up for Olympics. Whats the use dude. Anyways not want to discourage now since you are going your way so good luck for the show.

I keep fingers crossed and if you'll have way back from Vienna to the Prague over Přibyslav, It'll be a grande honour for me come together again with you. Cheerfulness and way without accidents.

Many great travellers had opened the eyes of their compatriots through tales of their encounters, be they Chinese, Arabs or others. Will you be the Dodhia Marco Polo

Nilpa and Ashik With you all the way, in spirit and in pain and in joy. All the best U can do it.

Rashmita and Kaushik

It's over six years since I left BSB - but how could I forget the Dodhia family: good luck Miheer! Thinking of you all the way ...

We are extremely proud that Miheer is embarking on such a journey.
These sorts of things are what many of us dreamed of, were jealous of (re those who did it), and that few actually do.
Congratulations to Miheer for the mere fact of going for it. More congrets will come later too.
