Mangaluru: Members of Mangalore Bicycle Club (MbC) Juniors - Achinthya Rao, Ankith Shetty, Dhrushya Billave, Gautham Rao and Shawn Patrao intiated riding their bicycles all the way to Goa from Mangaluru

Their enthusiasm for this journey stunned the seniors who later chipped in. The group of five started their ride before 4 am on April 27 from KPT Junction with two support vehicles following them with necessary supplies. They reached Kundapur around 10am covering an average distance at 27kmph. Their riding speed considering the humid weather was commendable.

All the five reached their target point for day 1 - Kumta at 4pm comfortably. Barring one rider, who was injured a bit, the rest made it safely. The injured rider was fired up the next day for the second leg that started from Kumta on April 28 at 7.30am. They had a shorter distance to be covered for day two compared to earlier day but had to contend with tougher roads. Without much ado, they rode comfortably with enough breaks and hydrating themselves before reaching Goa just after 4 pm.

With 100 kms covered on day 2, they accomplished their goal of cycling to Goa in their own style. They will be heading back to Mangalore on their support vehicles after couple of days of chilling-out at Goa.
