A Century Ride



For two years before I went cycling, which is pretty long and that is my first long drive, about 80km. Which started from Holehonnur (My native) nothing but Shimoga rural to Shanthisagara 40km and getting back in the same way so a total of 80km. And after a long gap, I brought new bicycle respect to my budget, which is BSA I bike normal cycle. Started wondering around Bengaluru city limits.

New definition for my cycling ride started. Wandered around Vidhana Soudha, Magadi area and Rajajinagar. After year planned for the 80km ride (went to near airport via NH7, not actually to the airport).

Then today I stretched my limits. I took the challenge to reach 100 km. so choose again the same route. But crossed the previous distance. So planned for 100 km. Century cycling ride came to my mind. 
I started my journey at 4.11 AM in the cold atmosphere with a target to reach 50 km one side. pedalling towards NH7 from Jeevanbhimanagar. the climate is an awesome fog everywhere so chilled atmosphere. Fresh breeze with long target peddling  reached Hebbal via MG road. Actually, I was planning for Breakfast while riding.  So chosen Hotel near Devanahalli. Around 40 km far from Jeevanbhimanagr. While that time my mind thinking for a pit stop for relaxing. At very first previous day planned to take a rest at every an hour. Morning climates, so comfort to travel long distance so I changed my plan without any relax finally I reached hotel near Devanahalli, but I did not take any rest thought to reach longer without a single stop 40 km far my starting I do not spot any place to reach later found a board of Chikkaballapura which is 28 km far from that time(5.30 AM). So I selected place at that time to Chikkaballapura. Finally reached  Chikkaballapura at 7.45 AM.


Finally reached  Chikkaballapura at 7.45 AM. Which is almost 70 km far from Jeevanbhimanagar.






Returned to Jeevanbhimanagar in the same way I travelled. Had breakfast near Devanhalli at 10.30AM, finally reached back home at 12.55PM. All together I traveled 140 km in the duration of 8 hours time with Avg. the speed of 15 kmph. Memorable journey of my life.
