Mission Status: Accomplished! YAY.
I used to cycle a lot when I was in school. Had lost the flavour till I saw this video sometime this month:
My bicycle, an old Hercules AXN was in ruins. Did a major repair last week for 800 bucks. New Tires, New Tubes, New Handle Bar, New Pedals, New Brakes, New Bell even.

RedBull and Apple

Lol. Dad left it on my cycle, his number. Just in case I fainted

My Ride, Parked Inside Ayruz
Having done this, I feel awesome. I am up for another challenge!
p.s: That was my first time with Red Bull today. Tasted like Appy-Fizz gone bad




Awesome dood…
U really showed guts fdo that
btw, wasn’t Sun causing the prob?
Last but not the least, the tag by your father is awesome
he he, even @KenneyJacob said so. Awesome Dad!
I started early, so missed the Sun
Awesome dude..i had this in back of my mind. But logic was telling me that at my age this is going to be trouble. Well you just kindled the spark again.. Cant imagine how you felt after all that ride in Kochi heat
I think its the Red Bull, but I am very focussed at the moment. I started at 7:14 and reached here by 9:14, so missed the kochi heat. Lets do the Kochi Kothamangalam once!
Well, thats nice. Even i’ve a cycle at my home. Its an old Hercules cycle. I’ll do some repair on my next visit to Kerala and do a ride like this.
You inspired me.
Btw, i do this kind of adventurous trips in my bike. Last week I went to Kerala from Bangalore by my Pulsar 135 LS. Continuous ride of 680 kms with enough break in each 50-100 kms. Started at 4.30pm from Bangalore and reached Kozhencherry at 7.00 Am Next morning.
Return trip was also an awesome trip. Started at 2.00 Pm from Kozhencherry and reached Bangalore at 5.00 Am next day.
Thanks! That means a lot man.
Am not up for any Biker challenges, cuz I dont have a real bike yet, and the one I have (an old Bajaj Boxer) is a challenge by itself
I have a crazy friend who does similar challenges. Wanna do them sometime
Clap clap clap.

No return journey, I have a home in cochin
Oh k

[...] I was in high school I used to do 15 km spells now and then and last March I brought my bicycle to Cochin doing an awesome 38.7 kilometres in 2 hours. I wasn’t hoping to see me up and walking the next day, but surprisingly 39 kms didn’t touch me [...]
