Ride with Pedal Yatri to Pathway

Hi Friends,

Last week I meet with a rider who was a member of a cyclist group named Pedal Yatri, I ride along with him and discussed regarding his ride. I came to know that is living very near to my place. It was a very good thing for me that I got a company near to my place. It was my main hurdle to ride along with a group that ride start point use to be very far from my place and the second thing was time. Group use to start their ride very early and it become difficult to reach that point on time. Now I am with a group member who is very well verse with the group and all the origin points.

We exchange our contact no. for further contact. We discussed few things regarding cycling on whatsup and on Friday he invited me to ride with him along with his group (Pedal yatri). I was very happy to know this that I can ride in a group. Group decided to visit Pathways in Aravali.

We decided to meet at 4:55am, we meet on scheduled time. We cycled upto Vatica City, Gurgaon to wait for some more Pedal Yatri members, within 10 minutes there were 7-8 members reached there. We started our ride towards Sohna. We took a right turn from Bikaner Sweets near Badshahpur. As soon as we left main road whole scene get changed, lots of greenery were there and all atmosphere was clean and clear, there were no dust no pollution, no noise pollution of vehicle or their horns.

Pedal Yatri Group Members
Group members were very cooperative and they welcome me for the ride. We kept chatting during the ride on several topics, like previous ride experience, about the place other riding place in Gurgaon and so on. They did't let me feel that I am riding first time with the group.

Prize distribution









One pedal yartri member informed us that other member is having chocolates to distribute one chocolate for each round. First thought which came in my mind was that it would be very easy to earn chocolates but you will not believe that road from start point till destination was on a angle of 75 degree, any how I managed to reach on the destination by saying "I can do it". As soon as I reached on top saw people are going to down to complete other round. I motivated my self that I can do one more round , reaching on source was very simple due to the slope but moving towards destination was horrible, legs were not allowing to move........ but I don't want to stop
Charpayee to hold my breath near Pathway
in between by seeing others stamina. Thank God to my wife who called me that time and I took a break to attend a call. I was unable to talk due to heavy breath.... this little stop gave me some power to complete one more round. I had no power to sit I totally got flat on a Charpayee which was near Hanuman statue. I informed other that it is enough for me, now I would like to take some rest. Other members completed 4-5 rounds. I was happy that I could complete at least two rounds.
Mosque near Pathway

We moved towards a mosque where we took some photographs and distributed prize (Chocolates).

View was amazing from the top of the mosque. By seeing the beauty of nature it was hard to believe that I am in Gurgaon , a so called cyber city. We spent some time over there and then came back to home.

This short trip with the group was a mind blowing experience. I would like to thank Pedal Yatri group for this trip and memorable photos.

Cycling to Deer Park, Hauz Khas , Delhi

Hi Friends,

Today I cycle to Deer park, this is situated in Hauz Khas, Delhi. When my friend suggested about this place I thought it would be a normal park but after visiting this place I found several things other then park, which you can clearly find in my pictures.

Today is Tuesday, so it is working day for others but my company did some adjustment with leaves and I got leave till Rakshabandhan, So I thought to utilize my leave by doing some cycling and decided to cycle upto Deer park in Hauz khas.

I left home around 5:40am, traffic was there due to working day. It took around 1 hour 15 minutes to reach there and in totality I took around 3 hrs and 45mins to complete my ride. I had no idea about this place but by the help of Google Map I easily reached this place.

My Route 


Jharsa Chock - > Signature Tower - > Iffcco Chock ->M.G Raod -> Qutub Minar -> IIT -> Hauz  Khas -> Deer Park



My Cycling stat :




I found this place very energetic, lots of people were there, people were busy in doing Yoga, walking , running and some old people were busy in chatting. I found a place where a Pandit ji was singing some bhajans and people were enjoying to listen.



This park is having :

1. A good track to walk / Jog
2. Beautiful and old tank : this tank was built by Sultan Allauddin Khilji in 1295AD.
3. Old monuments : Munda Gumba
4. Greenery
5. Descent crowed to motivate for the fittness

Over all I found this park is having everything to enjoy with your family or friends.
