Barnsley Council colleagues Gillian Williams, 57, and Carole Asquith, 58, are taking on the gruelling bike ride through the Rajasthan state to raise money for two cancer charities.
They are taking on the arduous challenge for three colleagues who have been affected by breast cancer and Carole's sister who is also suffering from the disease.
Gillian, of Doncaster, said: "This is no mean feat as we're both a lot closer to 60-years-old than 50, and I haven't been on a bike since I was 21."

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
