I almost read the title as 'How to mess up a country'. One needs to be a die hard optimist to believe that things will ever change for better in this country. Mismanaging a cycling event, behavior of some of cyclists is all but few symptoms. Larger…

well written. pathetic organization, to say the least. When the powers that be have deaf ears, blind eyes, motor mouths, and slimy hands, it would be a crime to expect any better.

My experience at Dehi Duathalon

I wrote a detailed post about my experience with Delhi's Cyclothon on August 29. It was good to see the number of participants and the enthusiasm, but all of it wasn't enough to make up for the mismanagement and faulty planning. The entire post can…

As I said, this was the buffer zone, so no elephants here normally. Fortunately, or unfortunately, elephants don't distinguish between those with contacts and those without. So the core area is completely barred. Even vehicles are known to have been…

Last long ride of the Winter season

100+ Km ride in just over an hour, most of it off road, including a stretch through a valley of thorns. 40 plus riders. Hope the puncture retardant gel holds and riders are good enough to do the killer Damdama-Manger climb towards the end :) Will post details once the ride's over!

GPS track of a ride involving a crazy downhill

GPS track of yesterday's ride on the Aravalis around Gurgaon that included an absolutely crazy downhill on a gravelly track from the Dargah near Pathways school. The track is along a newly laid pipeline for Reliance. This section will form the second part of the century ride that Pedalyatris have organised on February 7, 2010.
