While I’ve been away!

November 12th, 2009  |  Published in Living  |  8 Comments

Just realised that it’s been a while since I updated. And I have good rea­son too! I have been busy prepar­ing for the Tour of the Nil­giris…

It’s now around a month and a week away — and I still don’t feel I’m prepar­ing well enough. And though, I’ve been hard at work climb­ing hills around Ban­ga­lore, I still feel I have quite a way to go :-)

Last week­end, we did 90km prepa­ra­tion ride from BTM, Kanakpura Road, Haro­halli, Jigni, Anekal, Begur, Hosur Road and back to BTM — a dis­tance of 90 kms includ­ing a few stretches of con­tin­u­ous inclines. Thank­fully, the weather gods were on our side and we had light driz­zles, cool winds and the sun went into hid­ing — just per­fect weather for a tough and long ride!

A few pho­tos, cour­tesy Gopal V, who accom­pa­nied us all the way on his Bullet.

   That is really amaz­ing. I did a bike ride to raise money for the MS foun­da­tion in 1999. I did 150 miles but never got on my bike again. My butt has a good mem­ory. I was in way too much pain to try that again.

   More power to you!
