Instead of wandering mindlessly today I did an 'education' run a made up scheme under which I forced participants (sole) to visit their school, high school and college. Supremely leisurely since I was the only one there.
Nevertheless, high school had closed gate and for college they only allowed me till the parking.

Nothing spectacular but I loved visiting the school. Old world charm hasn't left that place. Perks of traditional, vernacular language schools. Barring small pavement for parking and minor refurbishment of century old buildings almost everything is the same as I remember from 20 years ago. How cool is that?

Quick midweek ride today, turned into a nice impromptu breakfast ride to Mysore Cafe. Central Delhi is lovely.

Did the famous education run reversed and then decided to do an army establishments run too. Fabulous roads compared to rest of the town and good sights. Lockdown in effect so not many people around.
Joined the 400kms-in-August challenge on Strava, tiny step for mankind but huge one for me.
Put foam grips yesterday and they make a lot of difference.

Anyhoo,











Next up, a) hitting 20kmph average speeds on my education run since I am well versed with the potholes and can avoid them from afar b) 40kms in one go.

Here is my ride - Alpina ECOc20. Yes, I will be writing a separate thread on this when I get some time off next weekend.

Enjoy the pedals, happy to know we are growing slowly on TeamBhp. Thanks @GTO for the platform.

I didn’t know this kind of thread even exists. Now get ready to be bombarded with pics everyday.

This is one of my XL hybrids. Specialized Sirrus, with the schwalbe tyres, the bike just glides over the smooth tarmac and is not happy over the broken roads.

Sorry for quoting an old post but did you by chance happen to put your bike on cyclop for sale? I have seen equally remarkable bike up for sale there as well and hence the question Thanks!

I love this bike. A very strong rider in my racing team (Still Training) owns the carbon version. 2x road drive train. He even attempted the PBP on it.

On a breakfast meet ...





Cheers, Doc

Nice one there! It has got good presence. I was looking at the Sirrus as an option before closing on the Trek

I can relate to what you are saying Doc, this bike is a total race horse. I love how they have anodized/galvanized Handlebar, seatpost and wheel hubs. There are two spokes in each hub that are painted in white to match with the frame, feels very premium this way.

I had also booked FX3 back in January but I lost my patience after April and cancelled it but the bike reeks of class and elegance for sure. I still think giving Acera in 70k bike is not justifiable at all but it still sells like hot cakes. Happy to see more pics of the beauty especially those Bontrager white grips

No, been pretty happy with my ride, so no plans to sell it for now, though been toying with the idea to try endurance geometry + 105 groupset based bike. Whenever that happens, maybe then.

Took out my favorite bike today. This bike just makes me fall in love with her again and again. I was screaming in happiness for the whole 119kms today. So without further due, my bike, Giant Escape-1



PS: I’ve added bontrager’s flare RT in front and back to increase visibility on the road. This tiny thing emits a bucket load of high intensity light. It has an inbuilt sensor that adjust lumens output during the day and in the dark conditions. Extremely happy with the performance and very minuscule form factor. Cheers!
