Cycle to Kovalam -- Early Morning Cycling Trip

All members of the adventure club..!! 
Gear up for our next trip. This Sunday, we have planned a cycling trip to Kovalam. The beautiful beach by itself is more than enough reason to be there. Also, enthusiasts have the option of jumping into the ocean with life-jackets from about 3 or 4 km offshore, sailing in a catamaran. You need to be able to cycle about 50+ km during the trip. Limited number of entries shall be selected. So what are you waiting for..? Just the fill the form below to register. 

    What is Catamaran ride or Catamaraning?

    Remember Anjana song from the movie Yuva? Partha mudal naal from Vetayadu vilayadu? if yes you will know what this ride is. You will be taken to the sea, 2km from the shore in a Catamaran/Motor Boat with Life Jackets and you will be thrown into the sea(Optional, you can jump by yourself also)  and then the sea is all yours. A life gaurd will accompany you and trust me, you cant get more than this, dont worry even if you want you cant sink, you cant swim either, all you can do is stay there in water and do all the stunts. A rope will be there for you to hold, so its all safe.
