Cycling for me started out as an alternative to running. But since then, I have found that it's got a charm of itself. I began cycling just around my city. But gradually, the distances increased until I found myself travelling across states on my bicycle! I can spend upwards of 10 hours on my bike without realising time pass!
Cycling is seeing a huge upsurge in Indian cities like Bangalore and Chennai with the entry of top quality bike manufacturers. This could not have come at a better time for me as I get to ride the wave, meeting like-minded people and getting involved in the community from it's early stages.
I have cycled 100km+ rides more times than I can remember, but my most memorable ride has got to be the ride from Manali to Leh. 10 days in the midst of the stunning Himalayan ranges, over some very challenging inclines and the highest motorable roads in the world! Pushing yourself through the heavy snow and undulating terrain, you discover a side of you that you didn't know even existed! Of course, the euphoria on reaching the top and looking down at the world beneath you makes it all worthwhile.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to track the Himalayan expedition, but many of my other local rides are up on endomondo.
