Thirty six kilometers

bicycle
Thanks to my friend Giri’s rejuvenated interest in cycling and his enthusiastic plans to travel to nearby places, the dormant cycling monster in me awoke today. We left at 5:30 am – Giri was on his chic new sports bike BSA Mach Racer, and I was on my mature (wouldn’t call it old) Hamilton. He was enthusiastic about a trip to Haji Malang (Malangad), a good 18 km away – which amused me slightly because I was riding a bike after ages and was not sure of my stamina.

We returned in 4 hours – successfully. It was a refreshing but a very exhausting trip. Weather was pleasant – and being a Sunday, it is a “free” day today. No worries.

Since you are reading this, I’d suggest you could also read travelogue about my bicycle expedition from Goa to Mumbai.

    Cycling must be fun! I have seen people doing Manali-Leh trip on a cycle (in many days) and I wonder if we would graduate from walking to cycling kind of holidays.

    Hi,
    I am originally from bombay and have been passionate about cycling since a very young age, I was wondering if there are any cycling clubs in bombay that organize rides over the weekends.
    I am based in the US and am planning a visit to bombay in summer and thought would hit the roads on a bicycle rather than a car/motorcycle. I typically would be interested in short rides (40-60miles/ 60Km-90Km) and would consider long rides (100+miles) only if there are enough people in the group.
    Please let me know.
    thanks
    -Siddharth
