Brothers Bike from Canada to Mexico, Stop in Brownsville

Surya and Giri Markala are pedaling more than 3,000 miles from Toronto to Mexico City in an effort to raise HIV/AIDS awareness, a project they call AIDS Bike Ride 2008.

The duo has already braved the northern part of the trip in little more than a month and reached Brownsville Tuesday night. They will cross the border into Matamoros this morning to continue south.

But Surya and Giri aren’t your likely cross-country cyclists.

Originally from southeast India, the brothers have no professional biking experience and are paying for the trip out-of-pocket.
