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!

Posted by yuva | November 24, 2009, 11:20 amReading this blog, I am also motivated to do cycling. :)
Posted by Chandrika Shubham | November 30, 2009, 2:00 pmThat 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!
Kiran
