Congratulations GFR,Spinlife,Punjab Cyclists, super effort.Thanks Kapil Vashist and his friend and Sameer Jotshi to have given us a full day and night to officiate this oneManish Gupta to have volunteered to take care of the 600 finish line after his grueling 300.The event saw all shades of emotions and was a perfect practice for the PBP 2015. Some unfortunately couldnt finish the 300 ( mostly because it was their first Brevet and a small weak moment took the better of them) but i am sure they will come back in the next one. The ride was not even close to difficult ,it was simply tough ..Period. 2000 meters of climb, pelting rain doing uphill and downhill in the dark, temperatures hovering around 38C mark and plummeting in the night. Riders riding more than 300 Kms in wet clothes, Prime Minister stopping our ride for more than 60 mins and shoving up an extra 20 Kms for a few , made the finish more like a Fairy Tale one. But if it were easy then all would do it and not play Teen Patti ,Sudoku and Scrabble. Congrats to those who earned their Randonneuring Title with the first Brevet and to those who nailed their SR series. With Gods Grace all went fine and each riders returned home safely. I hope you all enjoyed as much as we enjoyed hosting you.I know we had some short falls because of Lack of Shubho Bagchi and me being extremely tired but will take of it in the next one. Thanks Poonam Mitra for being there once again for the entire event. Now that this ride is over, lets take a moment of silence and pray for Shubho Das brothers health who is battling in the Hospi for the last 30 days. For me its time to sleep and plan the next Brevet scheduled for the 14th of September and this will be our last Brevet for this Calender year. Thanks again for riding with us Chiro
