Today is a special day for me. I cycled 36 kms and burnt 710 calories in the morning. Well, I feel i am slowly getting ready for big ticket cycling drives, particularly to konkan and belgaum as i had planned when i purchased the cycle.
It took me about 2 and a half hours, with 1 pit stop for tea at Chandni Chowk. The stretch from my house to chandani chowk is little difficult one, with lots of steep roads up the rocky mountain ranges in that area. Chandani Chowk is about 11.5 kms from my house. I felt tired and exhausted because of the extra efforts I had to put, to go up the hills. I took electrol, a couple biscuits, a piece of kaju roll and then lots of water, before the hot tea was served. I could get back my lost energy as I took about 20 odd minutes of break at the tea stall.
I started from there on the express highway towards Wakad Phata, and I realized that nobody would believe me if I tell what I did today. ( Just Kidding, But Still I took the snaps to add fun ). So I stopped on the expressway and took a couple of shots of the spot I had left behind. Here are the shots from my mobile:
A curving road up the hill is the Paud Road

The bridge you see is one going to Paud
Benz Show Room on the way to Wakad
This road goes to the sports complex. However I was on the high way above.
Sports Complex & Hotel Orchid ( ?? ) taken from the Highway
Took A turn from this under bridge towards Dange Chowk
Hotel Ginger on the Way to Dange Chowk
I did not think more snaps were needed, because from here I came to dange chowk and took a turn to head towards my residence. So no more proofs were needed.
All in all it was a great feeling to have challenged my body. Now my next big cycling drive would be from my house to the first toll post on the express highway and back home. I have seen seen during my car journey from kalyan that it is about 35 kms, one way. So that would be about 70 kms. come one of the Sundays and i will take up this next big step.
