100km Ride! Finally...

Today, Apr 18th is Bangalore Bandh due to Cavery issue row. I hope the conclusion will be fair. But this did not stop us from going for Cycling early in the morning.

Every Saturday, Bangalore Cyclist Group organizers "SAMBAR" ride which will be a long ride of almost 100km. I will  be involved with other activity on weekends and hence miss the opportunity to ride with the team.

However, Yesterday I was mentally prepared to go for the SAMBAR. Having it mentally prepared,I did not wanted to lose this opportunity and hence I went for the full preparation.

I bought Cycling shorts, Water Bottle holder, ORSS for dehydration, Banana and Chocolates for the protein. Hmmm.. I have done my self check list. Also checked the Cycle Tyre pressure and cycle condition. Both were good. 

So, The ride for me will start from 4:15am from Marathalli. The plan is to go the Airport and then to Airlines hotel in MG road. 

I had to be special early bird and hence slept early with mobile at a good distance from me with alarm loaded.

I started the ride from Marathalli along with Philip. The meetup point was Esteem Mall, Hebbal.
We reached Hebbal at 5:15am. Folks kept adding in and finally the group was of 40 members. We were all set for a ride to Airport from Esteem mall.

Morning Beauty
The journey was amazing the scenic beauty , wind kissing the face, group of cyclist made the journey even great.

After reaching Airport we took a 10min break and back to Airlines hotel. Had a good breakfast there and also had to pay the double the amount as Bang was on strike :-( But it was fun to have breakfast with new folks. I made a couple of friends too :-).
We then took the Silk Board to Marathalli.

It was an awesome 100km ride :-)

The Route was : Marathalli - Hebbal - Airport - Hebbal - MG Road - Silk Board - Marathalli.
