First Successful 200 km Brevet

This was a moment I was day-dreaming for over a month. On the Monday morning, 12 September, as the clock struck five, I achieved what many had thought was an impossible goal to accomplish. I am so happy that I was able to translate my dream into a reality. To do so, I rode all-night 200 km, almost non-stop for 12 hours on the National Highway 6, burned over 6000 calories and used my mental strength and physical endurance to reach the termination point of the event. The 206 km bicycle ride from the zero milestone, Sadar, Nagpur to Talegaon and a return ride from Talegaon to the Nagpur airport–the journey evoked pleasant memories that I would carefully treasure all my life.

The same day, Ashwini, my son, and a faculty in Community Medicine at MGIMS chased a 400 km target over 26 hours, starting from Nagpur and riding through Pandhurna, Warud, Paratwada, and Amravati before returning to Nagpur. With 200 km, 300 km and 400 km brevet rides already in his pocket, he is raising his bar and is looking forward to achieving another target- 600 km.
