Cycling is a good exercise. We suddenly went on a trip to kallanai, the ancient dam build in the city trichy. It was an unplanned trip. We decided to cover that place with the help of bicycle. There were around 12 people, who travelled all along. We had people from variety of places, 4 from Andhra, 1 from Kerala and 7 from Tamil Nadu. The overall distance of the journey was about 18 Kilometres approximate from the place where we resided. My cycle was not in good condition, but still I took it up as a challenge to ride the cycle. Many of those guys exchanged their cycles and they were not suitable for such a long drive.
We decided to start by 5 pm in the evening. After the initial hiccups, we managed to start by 5.15 pm. After riding some 2 kms, my cycle began to trouble, the mudguard tightened and the cycle made me do a stunt in the public road. I was in air for fraction of seconds, which was noticed by most of the people around me. After the great work by the mechanics, my friends, the troubling part was removed and we managed to move away from there. There was a bridge which we need to come through over bridge, few of them misread the path and went down bridge, which created a little lag.
But, somehow managed to get together and started moving, expected certain people to ask for rest or gap in between, but all were energetic and somehow reached the place by 6.40. There were a few selfie maniacs, who were addicted to take selfies. After reaching that place, there was a shocker waiting for us, very less water was there and size was lesser than that of a pond. There were kids playing and catching fishes in that so called dam. It may be due to the famine condition prevailing in that region due to the miserable failure of showers for few years.
Then there we had some chat items as we need some energy after riding for cycle so long. There were some traditional foods which won't be available everywhere. BER fruit, then corn and few more eatables were purchased and tasted. Then we took certain pictures and then enjoyed teasing each other. The place got dark soon. In the return journey, few people went through the correct path and somehow managed to reach the initial over bridge. The remaining people were mislead. The path did not have proper street lights also.
Thanks to the advancement in technology, we had torch lights in the mobile phones, with which, we managed to get light and pass the path. The return journey took long time as we were riding slowly due to darkness. There was a crazy guy, who followed a random path, despite of the darkness. But, we managed to evade from him. Then, after crossing a lot of obstacles, we managed to reach the destination. I have travelled a lot, but travelling by cycle for almost 3 hours in a single day was an unforgettable experience, that i thought of sharing here.
