Randonneuring Record

Vijayawada Randonneurs is my Home club, foundation of Randnnouring was laid here where I started with a 600BRM and dusted my first ever SUPER RANDONNEURS series in just one week 23-29 October 2021. This series had become a customary for me to participate every year and completed three times 7-days SR till date. Club Representative Jagdeesh Babu had not only become a ride partner but also mentoring me through my initial phases of Randnnouring. 

Delhi Randonneurs is like my home in North India where I have done my maximum number of rides  and my first 5-Days SR during March 2022. It has been a great pleasure riding under able organisational skills of Dr.Chiro Mitra (DADA) and Motherly hospitality of Poonam Mam with served with home made food during the rides.

My first BRM in North was with Lakshya Randonneurs. I participated in a six day SR and I finished my second SR ride. It’s always fun riding at this club. 

SECUNDERABAD RANDONNEURS is Second club I visit after my home club. most of the time my New Year first BRM happens here. As I spend my last week of winter / summer vacation at my sisters place so atleast a BRM a year happens here. Most importantly Secunderabad is revivification place as a cyclist in June 2021. My first 200km ride was around ORR & initial 7000kms of cycling is done around  this place. It’s always special riding at this club like home away from home enjoying Hyderabadi Biryani..!!

At TRICHY I have completed  SR in 111Hrs and this happens to my fastest SR. Starting from Srirangam going towards Chennai and coming back to Trichy for 600, going till Udumalaipettai for 400 riding in to dry where never ending winds, series of mighty windmill erected as if they are streetlights, riding further south see the scale of one blade of windmill till Madhurai for 300, to Ariyalur for 200. The beauty is all U Turns are Managed by organisers or local riders of the U Turn places.

Though Kota is Rajasthan but didnot have the opportunity ride through desert rather the continuous rolling terrain was a good training before PBP with hot winds. I completed the SR Series here in 5 days. As the club Representative still participate in ultra distance event, the support during was amazing especially after the ride homely treatment was eye watering.

The Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) Randonneur is indeed one of the most prestigious and challenging long-distance cycling events in the world. An LRM with 1,230 km route length to be completed within 90 hours, testing the endurance, determination, and skill of cyclists. 

LRM CKB 1200— a grueling 1200 km cycle brevet — is an epic journey through the heart of the mighty Himalayas, stretching from New Delhi to Kalka, Timber Trail,Una, Dharamshala, McLeodganj and back again. This ride, with an elevation gain of over 37,500 feet and 90-hour time limit, tests the physical endurance and mental resilience of every participant. 

Of the 500+ cyclists who set out on this journey, I am proud to be one among 40 brave souls who completed in time Since it’s inception In 2018.

1st edition of Coorg 1000Km BRM flagged off With 46 riders from different places across India on the gruelling & challenging route with 10000 mtrs elevation climbing major hills at regular intervals MM Hills, Madikere, Charmadi ghat.  Extreme temperature upto 38C  during the day and dropping to 18C at night makes the ride more fiery.

I am one among 22 riders braved all challenges and completed the ride successfully with nearly 2hr:30min to spare of the 75hour time limit.

I was Planning for an international event like PBP & LEL and always want to enjoy breathtaking views along the mighty Himalayas.

It has been 35 months of long RIDE to pedal 95,000 km with 125+ Audax homologations. Almighty had decided to give me a break on 15/06/2024 to Rest,Recover and get back STRONG for the next innings. 

The break was given to me after 680Km of KODAGU1200 LRM in Karnataka, With an incident which each one of us as a Randnnours has to accept and get back to the saddle once we recover.
This is the ride which had given ample amount of time to creat this site and opportunity to bring before you my Journey.
