my first century ride...

9 hours, uphill climbs and blissful downhill paths, some breathtaking views, harsh sun, bad roads, a few chocolates, many litres of water and 120 kms later, we reached Mangao from Pune via Tamhini. the plan was to reach Diveagar that evening, but I exhausted all my energy reserves. Managed to reach Mangao, only to see off Ankur and Aditya continuing on their Konkan cycling tour before I and my bicycle caught the next bus to Pune. Reached home safely, a bit tired and very sad for not being able to ride all the way to Diveagar… quite a day... The first day of November two thousand and nine A.D

    Impressive! I haven't done a century ride in a decade and a half, but now that I've resumed biking I'm working on building my stamina. After six months I'm finding 50km rides easy-peasy, so hopefully it's only a matter of a couple of months more...
