Cycling with HBC

The Hyderabad cycling club hosted the runners' club on march 22. We cycled around the north-west part of Hyderabad(map here).  We rode upto Osman Sagar lake and back to gachibowli stadium. The entire distance was just above 28 kms. We couldn't have asked for a better weather and yours truly was really pumped up and ready to do another 20 kms at the end of it. The road leading to osman sagar lake was picturesque that day. You can read about the ride from the Hyderabad Cycling club's blog here. It was primarily organised as cross-training exercise for the runners. It was great for us to not only cross train but with such an exhilarating crowd. 

       As someone who has commuted on bicycles for more than 10 years in my life, I was really excited about the trip. And thanks to Shay for picking an amazing route. It had all that one could ask for, uphill, cross country, sand and downhill where we were able to race down at 50-60 kph. After a lot of cycling in the campus, I did want to go to work in a bicycle. May be, I can do that sooner. 

Next one on twitter. Got to go now.  Just ride!!
