Dr Ali Poonawala is riding from Bangalore to Pune to raise funds for
deserving charities, and also to attend a Medical Conference ,
starting on Sat 12th Jan at 6 am from the JP Nagar Apple store. I will
be riding with him till Sira ,or a bit more depending on the time
availability.The plan is to ride at whatever speed the good Doc plans
to do, and in the return try and ride back a bit faster, it will be
cooler too in the evening/night. Targeting getting back to Bangalore
by about Midnight.

Any more people interested in joining the ride to encourage Dr Ali,
and also as a warm up ride for the upcoming 400 Brevet which is on the
same route ?

Please add your names to the list in case you are joining in.

Guys,

I was there at the start point to wish and cheer them. Parag arrived at 5.45 few minutes later Doctor came.

They started at 5 minutes to 6 am. As they started 5 minutes early I ran with them for a km and they took off.

Wish all the best to Ali very happy Parag is riding with him for some distance.

Very truly,
aNIL s kadsur

Nalla tends to be very nice at times. In reality we are disappointed
that you did not run till Sira and back with the bikers

Update from Ali- He reeached CHitradurga at 5:45 pm and is taking the night break there, tomorrow he rides till Hubli.

Anil is just awesome beyond words, he started running at 4:50 am from his house (obviously barefoot) in the dark to reach the start point well in time.
It was fun riding while he ran till Jayanagar 4th block.After that we took off, Ali setting a good pace which continued will we parted ways just before Sira, having managed an average of 25 kmph till then. The morning riide was a breeze, nice and cool. The return was blisteringly hot, and I came back at a pretty slow pace and the city traffic was terrible too. In the morning the stretch from Jayanagar to Yeshwantpur took us just 30 min, took me 2.5 hours with some portions where I had to get down and walk, finally got home at 6 pm.

No Hari.. I chikened out.. I have been neglecting my BSA Mach so it literally threw it's front brake into the tyre, coming to sudden halt and throwing me overboard !! Couldn't gather courage to take it for the trip. Ravindra , rather Srisha's Bianchi Spillo rubino is what i am riding !

I am Arvind. A newbie cyclist. Do you have Garmin GPS logs of bangalore sira stretch? Possible for you to share it?
I need the route elevation.
Thanks,
