This post is after cycling 1003 kilometers in 7 days on a Fuji Touring Disc 2021.
If you wish to do long touring on your cycle, I would like to share my experiences through this blog. Your feed back is highly welcomed so that I shall strive to present better in my upcoming posts.
It’s not the cycle, the cyclist in you matters for bicycle touring.
Rule 1: No ride with out proper warm up and gear up.
Jalandhar …Pathankot highway. Doaba to Majha.
Rule 2: Know your limits and stick to healthy and hygienic diet plan.
Gurdaspur day 1 ends
Tip 1: utilizing washing possibilities shall keep the bag without smell and reduces washing burden.
Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, the most prominent Sikh ShrineA very peaceful border due to Covid restrictions. Curiosity carries no boundariesEnd of day 2Gateway to Amritsar. The tallest in the NH1 with 100 feet height having no support covering the entire 8 lane.
Shri Taran Taran Sahib with largest pond among all Sikh shrines.Every individual has a unique way of livingYoungsters in Firozpur district say they need more attention from governments towards their wages. They spend nearly 10 hours over 40 degrees to earn mere 300 INR
There is no better measurement of one’s soul than the way one treats others.Historical city ,FirozpurThe receptionist at Kings hotel Firozpur, Niyaz Ali.Am fond of rice and vegetable whenever I ride long.Clock tower ,Fazilka,98 feet tall built in 1939 on June 6 , a mere coinincidence for me.The impact of Rajastan is visible In Fazilka district.He doesn’t even mind if I touchEn route Abohar…Abohar wild life sanctuary is maintained by 13 mishnoi villages, the animals like antelopes enjoy the freedom of moving around. The best example of natural co existence
Never forget to hydrate and keep ORS in this stretch. Temperature shoots up to 48 at certain points.
My RPR jersey…quite close to my heart.When you compare the hardships of others n hot weather , riding a fancy cycle is not at all a problem..You will see a wide range of vehicles in Malwa and Majah especially tractor based variants.The government needs to revise the wages. Most of them are compelled to work for low pay scale owing to poverty. Des Raj , a rickshaw pullar now , who lost his security guard job in a school at Mandi Dabwali due Covid lock down says he prefers the present job due to higher pay scale despite the hardworking. To my surprise , the higher pay was 300 INR per in comparison with 200 in school for night duty.Mandi Dabwali is well known for jeep and other vehicle modifications. The temperature was 43 degree that made me to push forward instead of exploring the market.
The police check post at Mandi Dabwali to Bathinda road was kind enough to offer coffee and refreshment. We must salute their efforts in hot weather while most of us are in AC.
I have no words for the hospitality
Bathinda cycle gallery . The Bike Store , the largest cycling community in Punjab with over 400 registered cyclists.
En route Patiala from BathindaMorning in Patiala Back to NH1Be like animals that never damage the earth in any form ,instead, lead their natural way of life.After riding from Rajpura in NH1 the only place with shade was Phillaur Verka point30 kms more to touch 1000 mark
Tip: the best way to regain power is shower. Never miss a chance to have time with ground water. However never risk yourself in flowing water if you see a stream or canal.A satisfying moment when you achieve a target.
This trip was an eye opener for me to know about Punjab from a different perspective which is much more wider and clearer than what I have been told by the media as well as others.
I hope I will be able to make more of such travel to knkw the pulse of various parts of India.
It is well said that , India is a luxurious jungle of cultural phenomena.
