Welcome to the Bahrain Rickshaw Run website.

  

sponsorship amount

After a bit of research and a lot of guesstimate work we have come up with a preliminary budget to cover expenses for the rickshaw run autumn 2011 edition.

(drum rollllll) $9000!!! holy crap! who's going to sponsor that much?

 

the items included:

 

 

  • vaccinations (cuz i don't want to end up with malaria and an amazing diarrhea)
  • flights - from bahrain to delhi to meghalaya. then from rajasthan somewhere to bahrain
  • travel insurance (and probably life)
  • accomodation for the 3 weeks (inclusive of before & after race)
  • petrol (heard it wasn't that cheap) and really 8L capacity for the rickshaw?! might need to carry extra gallons with us
  • visa for india
  • tech stuff: sim cards, internet usb for updating on progress, cam corder, GPS system
  • the rickshaw deposit of 1000 GBP
  • food (we put an allowance of around $2 per day)
  • rickshaw maintenance 

 

didn't add stuff like first aid kit, flashlights and bungee cords (might use them to pull rickshaw out of ditches and what not)...

 Meeting my fellow idiot Mr. T over shisha to figure out how we can sell this to a possible corporate sponsor.

will update once we know a bit more.

cheerio

 

sad that i am writing this just for myself. no one is reading this, i suppose.
