So, to me it seemed like we had managed to get a little jinx on our cycling trips in the evenings. It had been a week and we hadn't stepped out! Something or the other would just keep cropping up! Finally, I gave up on going with the flow and decided now was the time to break this jinx! You gotta do what you gotta do you see! ;)
Wednesday, AIyaps and I were meant to head out at about 530 or 6 and we realised that he is still stuck in a meeting. So I head home and change and wait for him to finish. The clock passed 6, 630 and 7! I was almost in two minds to cancel the ride, but I decided against that last minute. Told Aiyaps, that I'd pick him up and we'd go for a short ride, no matter the time. I had to break this jinx. The minute you start letting go and become slack on certain things, that's the end of that!
We got home at about 8 and headed out by 815. It was a little dark, yet bright enough as there were many cars on the road. Aiyappa needed to be at a poker game at 9 (obviously that wasn't going to happen!) So we decided to peddle fast and just take a quick round from paras, down to route, left towards sector 56, left on the golf course, passing my new office, and then making a stop at KFC!!! :) We got out of Princeton and peddled really hard. I lowered my gears and it honestly felt like a spinning class for the first 20 mins! Spinning is harder than you think!!! BY the time we got to golf course road, the last stretch I HAD to slow down! :) I also managed to make a stop to adjust my seat height! Realised that I was sitting too low and that wasn't really helping me!
Anyhow, we got to the mall which has KFC and Aiyappa wants to lock and leave the cycles outside with the guards! LOL! Seriously man, be trusting but not THAT trusting! hahahaha! I managed to explain/convince him as to how taking them down to the basement would be a better idea where the only people who can see them are the guards who will be responsible for them! Doesn't allow the janta to maybe want to pick them both up and run! LOL! So down we went to the basement parking on our bikes. I am SURE that none of our friends have ever done this! It was so strange riding in on our bikes and then riding out!!! WE parked and locked our bikes in a quiet dingy corner and headed straight up to KFC for our dinner! A quick 10 mins later, back in the lift towards the bikes. Rakshit Aiyappa decided to crack a joke on the bikes being lifted to which I promptly stopped him and told him not to give me a heart attack! Riding out was fun, extra effort was needed uphill of course! Even in the car you know you have to be on a lower gear and extra careful, just that the stress on us we didn't expect. I made my way up and heard Aiyappa in the background. Even he didn't expect the effort! LOL!
Almost on the main road and I look back to notice that Rakshit darling in missing. Did you stop to talk to the guards or something? :p I slow down towards Princeton and there he comes up beside me two mins later. We ride straight into P'ton and to the elevators of the building! No time to cool down. Poker game to get to for Aiyaps.
Get home, wash face, have Tang! The regular drill! Wait for Aiyaps to have a shower and then head! I drop him off and get home to my bathroom for a nice LONG, HOT shower which is the best part of my day post our rides! Makes you sleep really well! Its been helping my sleepless nights anyway! ;)
Our ride was short, but sweet! 45 mins, good distance covered, KFC included... Brava! ;)
Next ride time: this evening. Need a new route and some interesting events on the street too! :p
