Veloखुशी
Velo is french for cycling and 'Khushi' offcourse means JOY - So it is 'The joy of Cycling'
Objective
The objective of these series of events, has always been to promote cycling and change people's perception about cycling and in the process change the way we behave as well.
Breaking barriers
It is about breaking mental barriers and converting casual cyclists into serious ones.
The Event
It is a unique concept of teaming up participants of different backgrounds and cycling strengths captained by a seasoned and well respected cyclist. Together they cover 100+ kms with the each others support. All in the team completes 100 kms and by doing so, sending out a message that “If we can, then you can too”
This event will be held on the 28th May and it will be a race just like the last one with similar rules.This being a race is not something which is intended by us but to achieve the objectives its necessary. It is more about completion then coming first.

Note from the Organisers
Dear captains of Velokhushi 2016:
We thank you for your participation in the ride that happened on May 28-29 2016.
We hope you and your team enjoyed the event and took along a whole lot of memorable moments.
We wanted to update you all with the methodology adopted for the timing and the ranking.
1. We have calculated the duration of the 1st and the 2nd leg based on the start and the end time of the respective legs (Column G and Column J).
2. We then added the duration of these legs (Column M).
3. We arrived at the final timing by adding the penalty duration for the teams that did not complete with the same number as original members and deducted the duration with the advantage for the teams that completed with original number of members (Column N)
4. For Team 27, they were given the advantage of 10 minutes since they completed with all their riders. Further, an extra 20 minutes was added as the pilot bikers committed 2 mistakes: 1) At the start of the race when they were directed towards Kalina and 2) When they were diverted towards Worli Seaface.
5. For Team 26, they were given the advantage of extra 15 minutes as one of the pilots directed few of the riders on an incorrect route towards Worli Seaface. As a result, the captain had to go and fetch the riders to get them back on track.
While calculating the durations after the end of the race, some of the teams were not given this advantage. As a result they were placed lower.
The timings have been updated after a thorough check and the rankings are as reflected above.
The rankings till 7 have remain unchanged, however.
We apologize for this inadvertent error from our end. We will be careful next time on.
Till we meet again.
Regards,
Organizers of Velokhushi 2016
