The Freedom Ride 15th Aug 2013

This was one of the biggest corporate event organised by The Atlanta Foundation, on 15th August to celebrate the independence day. I was in PRIDE ride category, riding 66th mark of independence, riding 66 kms. on beautiful road of Hyderabad. It was a fun riding, fairly organised and big crowd too.

I set the finish time of 3 hrs. but completed the circle in 05.30 hrs. I would have completed it within my set time, since it was a group ride, I had to stick with the group. They were riding local brands and are not regular riders, result, slow pace n a lot of snacks break. I must salute both my fellow riders for their stamina and endurance.

XCheck got a good response from the crowd. And overall a different celebration day.

Happy Independence Day India!!
