Dear All,
We have finally started the cycle trail. Myself, Russell, Harry and Hemant. Yesterday Hemant became a proud owner of a beautiful bike (neighbor’s envy, owner’s pride!) and today we inaugurated it with a 10 KM + trail. We went out of the Espace gate and moved towards Golf Course Road, after which we went off the road and towards Village Bairampur, roads were bad, actually there were no roads at all, it was bumpy ride and thank God we had gears in the cycle and for the first time we understood their importance. One of the trespassers told us that we could reach Bhondsi/Badshahpur if we pass by Bairampur and Kadarpur. That’s what we did, we followed villagers’ instructions and after Bairampur reached Kadarpur. After Kadarpur, we could see CRPF firing range after which started a beautiful trail with wheat/mustard fields on both sides and towards Badshahpur. In between we stopped for a tea break (Thank God I took some money with me!) and talked to a few villagers, discussed some politics of adultery by some Haryana politician and proceeded towards Badshahpur. Just after a few minutes we reached our good old Sohna Road and reached back to Nirvana. In all it took 2 hours but it was fun. We saw a lot of beauty, filth, a hillock,a peacock, wheat fields, people addressing their morning chores, sunrise, a slight fog, temples, graves, schools, school going children and their surprised looks at our “gear wali cycle”.
But believe me it was a fun and once more we were convinced that our Nirvana is really a Nirvana its much clean and organized than the world around us.
Needless to say we want more people to join in, so any body interested please join. We start everyday at 7 AM and are normally back within an hour, today was a special day.
We look forward to doing Pathways School on the Aravalis, Dum Duma lake, Sohna, Sultanpur, Keith’s farm House……etc.
Any suggestions are welcome!!
With Best regards,
Amrendra
