#MTBShimla2014. The weekend that was!
Here is a sneak-peek into it. While I craft the main blog-post, please savour this.
The event was rife with expectations, determination, excitement, camaraderie in the most scenic, but challenging of back-drops! It had so many stories to tell. So many moments to share!
It roared about friendship:
It celebrated the beginning with unabashed aplomb!:
It whispered about silent determination, a promise to oneself:
It spoke of star-studded eyes:
It alluded confidence in good measures:
It spoke about giving it a shot one last time, before giving it up:
Amongst all the chatter, it did whisper about love too:
It explained the treacherous, long, lonely paths. Something that life is, at times:
It inspired about waiting for friends to catch up, even while trying to race ahead in life:
It muttered about being the important cog in the wheel, albeit silently:
It talked about the joy of racing to the ‘finish-line’, together:
And of course it talked about the majesty of Himalayas:
Ahh, yes! It also advised about taking out time to wave at the photographer while aiming to win:
See you guys soon with a detailed post.
Till then, lots of love your way!

Wow… I too wish to join YHAI in their Ladakh cycling program… but before that need to cycle regularly for a couple of months to avoid physical breakdown there :-/
Hahahahahaaa! Yes. Anunoy, stamina is important, but mental-strength is more of a pre-requisite. I think these guys take up training camps too. You can get to know of it from their FB page, maybe.
P.S.: MTB Shimla is the baby version of an event called MTB Himalaya.
