It was 5 in the morning when a group of guys and I were heading from MIT to a petrol pump in Udupi. If there is a day I have to pick when I get into endurance cycling, this would be it. The task ahead was a 200Km ride through forests, highways and rolling hills – my first Brevet. The farthest I had cycled before this was from MIT to Delta Beach- a grand total of 40km. I was definitely punching above my weight. The first 50 Km after the flag-off were pleasant – straight highways, cool air and good company. As the sun rose higher in the sky, the wheat started separating from the chaff (I was the chaff). While seemingly 50-year-old uncles zoomed past me, I was now riding all alone to the halfway mark of the scenic Mookambika temple. Huffing and puffing, I reached the 100Km mark to witness the uncles start their journey back, having already finished a hearty lunch and also fit in some sightseeing. I stuffed some bananas and started back asap – there was a time limit after all. Too late, and I will be disqualified. If the first half was difficult, the second was hell. My busted legs and sore bum somehow peddled through the twilight to reach just in time to Udupi. The feeling of accomplishment (and relief) is better experienced than put in words.
As dramatic my first experience in the long-distance ride was, it built in me the confidence and perseverance to do the next 200Km, 300Km and eventually take part in a 2000Km long journey from Manipal to Jaipur. Sometimes all you need to do is to punch beyond your weight.

The first documented girl who climbed Agumbe.

I started riding in Jan 2019 after going for a ride with friends to a nearby bridge. It was around 5km and I was too tired. I had to push my bicycle all the way back through countryin climb. There I met . He kept motivating me and asked me if I was interested in a program called Adventurer which is for beginner riders.
There I was, the last cyclist to reach back to college from a 5km ride, thinking of joining a program in which I had to cycle 100km by the end of 4 weeks to Agumbe. The choice was mine and I knew I wanted to do this and I can.
The Adventurer 1.0 consisted of 6 participants (with only one female participant). For the next 2 weeks I used to ride with my cyclist friend twice a day before and after college inorder to be stronger. I kept pushing my boundaries and trying my best to improve my fitness inorder to be a better cyclist.
I also got into an accident and was thrown to the road from the bicycle. I wasn't hurt too much.I remember thinking at that instant that I would regret if I gave up that ride and went back. Hence, I rode all the way back to college in spite of getting into a crash (the rest of the members wanted me to give up on that particular ride).That incident made me realise how persistent and dedicated I was to complete what I had started. Within 2 weeks after the start of the program I was able to cycle Countryin climb for 5 times continuously. At last, I climbed Agumbe and went back to college. I became the first documented girl to climb to Agumbe from MIT.
This is how I started cycling. I have been to many solo rides and group rides after the program. It has not only improved my fitness but also improved my self confidence and team work.
I am happy that many started cycling after getting inspired from me.
