The Green Week Cyclothon

 Team Saijleen Bedi, Deepak Chhabra, Ruchika George, Amit Kumar, Divya Sharma, Namita Singh, Shamim Khan, Atul Udaipuria, Tenzing Bhutia, Meer Mehtaab Hussain, Syed Zaki, Meghal Arora, and Nitesh Kumar

Lead : Ashish Purwar

Today we started the Green Week celebrations with a cyclothon. We chose 14 riders under the mentorship of Ashish Purwar. As the clock struck 7:30, we started from our office premises after clicking some awesome pictures.

The cycle trip route was Office - India Gate - South Avenue. As we started, the first hurdle came in form of a puncture.  Meghal got her bike punctured just few meters away from our office. Ashish promptly repaired the puncture, we headed towards India gate via Ashoka Road in no time. Most of the riders in the group were new to biking but everyone seemed really seasoned. It was a beautiful day. We reached India gate, our stop 1 and clicked some pics.
From India Gate, we biked towards the South Avenue. Although the traffic was getting heavier, we reached the south block and clicked some memorable pictures and videos.

After this, happy in our hearts and proud of what we had achieved, we started our rides back to office. A lovely breakfast was arranged by the office and we felt energized and happy. 

The best part of this experience was that many people got to know about the benefits of cycling. This is also the initiation of the T&F cycling group.
