14-member team is on a three-day Kasaragod-Kanyakumari trip
A group of 14 young women from across the State are on a three-day ride from Kasargod to Kanyakumari on their motorbikes. They will celebrate World Tourism Day as they reach their destination on Monday.
The group, consisting of professionals, housewives, students, and teachers, has sparked curiosity all along their journey. The ride, under the banner of the Calicut Riders Family (CRF) Women on Wheels, was named Mini K-to-K 2021. “We call it Mini K-to-K as we have restricted it from Kasaragod to Kanyakumari, instead of the legendary Kanyakumari to Kashmir ride,” said Nasli K., secretary of the CRF Women on Wheels.
Mounting her BMW G-310-R, Ms. Nasli said that she had developed a passion for riding only after her marriage. An interior designer from Malappuram, Ms. Nasli is riding her husband’s motorbike. After spending their night in Kozhikode, the rider group reached Kalpathy near here on Sunday morning, where they were given a reception by the local members of the CRF. “It is a privilege to host our friends. They are doing this Mini K to K for the second year in succession. The message they send out is profound,” said Chandraja K.S., CRF Women on Wheels Palakkad convener.
