The Preparations

The Hiccups before the Start

Waking to the ringing alarms that were precisely set in the previous night, one by one, each of us hurried for our morning chores.

Finally out of the apartment, we set out to the bicycle shop for the last minute tunings and making sure the cycles were up and ready for the long journey ahead!

10:00am was the decided flag off time, and as usual in any highly anticipated event, the show just HAD TO start late!! Makes me wonder why we even fix a time schedule. Last minute problems do come up in one way...or the other.

This time it was in the form  of an unconditioned lady’s cycle, apparently the only lady who was brave and very thrilled about travelling with us!! So we decided to wait , and try arrange another in the last minute.

12:05pm. The so called last minute, went up to 2 hours, and finally we decided...12:30pm we are off... with or without our brave girl ! And just then we got a hold on a cycle which was like 6km away on the route.

 and we started by flag off...
