The Last Ride

This is titled The Last Ride just to emphasize that I'm stopping any bike race or any long touring rides after this ride, which is going to be a really long one. Brief History of My Cycling Ever since I started cycling in 2010, I had always done a big ride every year. In 2010, it was Mysore and back. It was big then, with my MTB Trek 4300. Then came brevet which made a distance like 300 km look like a newbie ride. I bought a hybrid bike Merida Crossway 10V in November 2010. I had no plans to own a road bike, but I still rented one for the 400 km brevet just to get a feel of it. Just after the 400 km brevet, decathlon offered BTwin Sport 1 for just 15000 rupees, an offer so tempting that I got it on the first day at the closing hour of the shop. All these while, wife supported me very well and never hesitated whenever I wanted to buy a bike. I raced almost every BBCh race in 2011, 2012 and 2013. And then I also bought an MTB KHS Sixfifty 603 in 2014 though I could hardly race
