This is not the first of my cycle rides, but the first in Benguluru.(aka Bangalore). I have been procrastinating the ride from many days but today I pulled up my body and went for it.Started off at Koramangala, went along the Inner ring road, Airport Road, Marathahalli, Outer Ring Road and back to Koramangala.The Airport road was full of ups and downs and required some power while the outer ring road was relatively flat but the wind was pretty strong there which made that part the toughest of the ride.I took a small break at Marathahalli for some water.(lesson learnt - always carry a waterbottle with you).I covered a total of 22Km in roughly 1.5 hour including the break.On an average, that amounts to 14 km/hr.Not a bad speed for a first time ride that too with no excercise training whatsoever.
I used my Hercules MTB TurboDrive for the ride- a pretty standard bike on the Indian roads.
The following is the pic of the route that I took from walkjogrun.com of my route.
Next weekend,I plan to go on a longer ride, with some conditioning this week.
