Cycle Till Death

Cycle till Death ( I've taken this title after inspiration from Abhinay)



The title says it all. Sound's like “ Death by Chocolate “ :) , no ?


Cycling is good ? Not sure ? Then keep reading . On one Sunday morning a “bunch” of guys and a girl went on a cycling trip with their Manager .


After an hour of bumpy ride we made it to Savandurga . Everybody grabbed a cycle and after some test runs it seemed that it should be easy . Curious Villagers and more importantly the Sun God came out to greet us.


So far so good .


As the Sun climbed it made cycling ......... But there is no short cut to enjoyment , one must cycle :) . I can hear some grumbling noises !! You all agree ?



“ Go back !! “ , “ Who'z idea was that ? “ and when one starts hearing all this its better to cycle fast and be ahead . Makes sense right ? .


Savandurga is famous not for cycling but for rock climbing and a water reservoir . A so called cycling trail exists around the reservoir but this road is shared by goats , cows , buses , tractors and humans .


The Karnataka Government has made sure that you feel that all roads in the state are same . Nobody should feel bad .

The cycling tour is organized by BSA cycles , they promise a lot of stuff but you'll surely get a guide and a cycle along with a 200 ml water bottle.


Cycle , stop , smile , look at the sun , look down , take some snaps , gulp some water , start again. This is the story in short.


Slowly and steadily we all made it . The stretch around the lake was the best and I'm sure many would agree :) At least once we all need to agree ?



A little rest and back into the Taxi . The Taxi hopped and jumped and roared and brought us back to Bangalore .

Food is life and that too after cycling its important and if your Manager invites you – never say “no “ !!


Guys how does “ River Rafting till Death “ sound ? :)

No wonder your life is under threat! after cycling, how many of them did actually appreciate the idea of keeping themselves healthy and fit so as to survive such tours. But I guess whats really commendable is your efforts to give everyone chance to realise this. and all praises for your manager as well (if we was not amongst them who were grumbling :)

hahahha... i agree chigs.. if only this guy doesn't take thinsg to extreme the team would actually ask him for mre such trips. but if at their first effort he leads them to a near death experience I am not sure how many of them will be ready to ride a bike a second time :)... well not sure abt others.. but i sure would have loved the bike trail :)
