Linger <3 TFN. And we loved hosting the rockstars - the volunteers!

The Tour of Nilgiris is India’s Original Bike Tour, and still one of the best, toughest, funnest and best known rides.

Cycling is a fun activity at our locations. And for this, and for the awesome event it is, Linger was proud to partner with TFN Edition 7 as a prize sponsor, and as a host for the volunteers team. These guys are the backbone of this awesome event, and do this completely selflessly.

The TFN team had headed over to the Balur Estate for a quick offsite last weekend, and they had a ball there!

Team TFN, we’re delighted to have been associated, and honored to have hosted the kickass volunteers team. Look forward to more such over the coming years. Keep riding, and have fun!

Doing nothing on the Saddle

One of the most amazing ways to spend pleasant, lazy mornings is pretty places is on a bicycle. It keeps the peace, its healthy and helps you breathe in the clean air, it works up an appetite and you get to see a lot more of the place, up close – especially on the smaller trails off the roads. Its also a lovely way to spend some time with your own thoughts, catch up with the local sights, sounds, people and get a good endorphin rush first up in the morning.

Linger destinations are a dream come true for bikers, and we encourage all our guests to do short rides, at least. Chettimani is in an undisturbed area with tarmac, off-roads, and then there’s the Talacauvery climb to challenge most. Balur Estate has 26 kms of jeep roads inside the estate itself – and there’s 2 lakes to find, lots of hills to climb. Both places also offer excellent routes and roads to go do long rides if thats your thing. Our places have bikes now – MTBs – and we’ll be a adding a few more.

If you plan to take your own bikes there for some serious riding, you’ll surely have a lot of fun there. Do let us know if you need to borrow a bike rack. There’s a pump there so you’re all set!

Get on that saddle and ride!
