Bicycling and Me.

I started bicycling in October of 2010 thanks to Jacob a very dear friend and very accomplished rider who lives in a town called Coonoor ,a beautiful hillstation set in the picturesque Western Ghats of Southern India.He suggested i give mountain biking a try since i visit the hills so often being just a couple of hours drive from my hometown Coimbatore.
I took his advice and along with my brother Sanjay got ourselves a bike each.A Bianchi hybrid for Sanjay and a Cannondale F7 MTB for myself.I have now clocked 5500 kilometres in the past 15 months and its been pure joy.
Its been a fantastic year discovering the joys of mountain biking along with so many dear friends who now have the same passion for bicycling and adventure as i do.
Thats the reason i decided to start my own blog ,even though i have never been much of a writer ever.The rides that i have been fortunate to do over the last year have been so special and made me see the countryside in a totally different light and enjoy the outdoors in a way that one can only being on the saddle of a mountain bike in my humble opinion.
I hope to henceforth share my Mountain Biking Experiences through this blog and i hope u enjoy reading them.Cheers!
