I am cycling from past 3 years regularly for healthy lifestyle, environment and passion. Initially I got inspired from my dad who is cycling and running regularly in my home town. Cycling becomes more interesting after we start powai pedals group with few other riders in powai last year. I tried all modes of transport to reach office from my home. Following are the average time took to reach my office
Car – 1h 45m
Auto+train – 1h 20m
Bus – No direct bus (not tried)
Motorbike – 1hr 10min
Bicycle – 1hr
I started realizing bicycle is the smartest way of commuting to office but only problem is no shower facility available in my office to fresh up after reaching office; I ride to office occasionally if the climate is favorable. After continues riding I attempted my first BRM200 and completed successfully which gives me confidence to attempt and finish 300 and 400BRM on MTB. To complete my SR series I attempted BRM600 on MTB and failed to complete due to insufficient time, fatigue and headache. I also realized speed is very important to save more time which can be utilized to sleep and take rest in between. I decided to buy a road bike to improve my speed and to complete my SR series. I started with 200BRM again on road bike and completed SR series and few additional BRM on road bike comfortably. I am not completely satisfied with my SR on road bike. Completing a 600BRM on my MTB will fulfill my BRM thirst. Added to this, I am planning to attempt 1200BRM on 22nd of October.
