I know how to ride a bike well, but I have never owned a bike, only rode max 200 KM once on a rented bike. So, my experience with long rides is very less. I want to know if it will be possible for me to do an 8-day ride from Srinagar to Manali in which we do ~150 kms a day. I am planning to go with a group which will do all the planning and arrangements for me, I just need to pay and arrive. Please suggest from your past experiences.

I don't want that I just exhaust myself on the trip towards the 2nd half and not enjoy anything.

I recently went on a trek in Himachal, wanted to smoke some weed on the trail. I secured some near the base camp and we started hiking. On the 2nd day after reaching the campsite I sneaked away from the grp and smoked a small J. I started back as they were going to start the headcount soon and I didn't want a search party starting for me. I reached the camp after a 30 min walk and was completely exhausted. When I reached the camp, they were doing SPO2 checks for the day, and I was in the lower 70s. I got panicked as hell and went straight to sleep in my tent after drinking a lot of electrolytes. Woke up a few hours later and was ok by then. Realized that I should have never made that mistake. Read later that smoking weed spikes the CO levels in your blood and can lead to a drop in O2 in the body.

Please don't make the same mistake I did ever. And this is not rare, recently heard that a person died making the same mistake, I was just lucky to survive.

Was an amazing trek though, except this small hunch.
