GoGreen, for a better tomorrow, GoCycling (Pls chk www.GoGreenGoCycling.org 4 regular update)
With this blog of mine, I wanted to appeal to our community to save all kinds of finite resources as much as possible. Go-Green Go Cycling is the Quote I am using on this blog to request people to use their bicycles for regular commuting instead of using their Cars/Bikes. U can ensure 1 less Car/Bike on the road that would have contributed for all kinds of pollutions Pls note : I Have stopped udating this blog and moved on to www.GoGreenGoCycling.org

South End Circle -> Basavanagudi circle (?) -> VV Puram -> Minerva
Circle -> JC Road -> Cubbon Park.
for today's ride. They happen to be identical twins; the first ever pair of twins in GGI group !! Rao nicknamed as Go Green Twins. Coincidently, one of them had a BTwin Road bike.
Some of members from other areas were already there and more started joining in. We went around Cubbon Park forming a single line/Foil. With more than 30 members present, this looked awesome. We then gathered around Chamrajendara Wodeyar statue for the group photos. Kumaran had come with his hitech camera, and yes, he came on his bike. Within no time, he setup his tripod and the camera on top of it. The number had now swelled to about 40 and therefore, we took some time in arranging ourself. Thanks to Rao for initiating to create the poster, thanks to Kumaran for volunteering for the shoot and thanks to the GGI members for being present there. We took several snaps. The GGI members are really be keen to see how the posters come out. We are working out to come out with Go Green posters which will be displayed in most of the Cycle shops, Schools & College's
After the shoot, we decided to go for the breakfast. Shantu suggested a nearby place, Ranganna hotel, at Sampangiram Nagar. We had Idli, Rice bath, wada and yummy masala dosas.

Comments from New GGI members:
Today was my first cycling experience with you guys in Bangalore. It was great cycling trip to cubbon park and cycling in the city of Bangalore by spreading the massage of GO GREEN GO CYCLING.

I browsed through the sites of a lot of cycling groups before I zeroed on GGI. A colleague's passing suggestion about GGI got me completely hooked. Eighteen months of cycling on
Bangalore roads and my overflowing inbox with updates from GGI, got me curious and pushed me to actually go on the weekend ride. I had done a lot of impromptu rides with my friends but nothing like the Sunday one which was my first ride with GGI folks.
The Sunday ride turned out to be a lot of fun and surpassed my expectations. Initially, I was very apprehensive of participating in the weekend ride and was very doubtful about my ability to complete the circuit. The GGI folks turned out to be cool and chilled irrespective of their age. The enthusiasm was contagious and all my doubts [infact the thought of not completing the ride] flew outside the window. The mix of people and their willingness to share cycling gyaan is awesome. I am completely sold on the idea of taking cycling as a serious hobby. I am looking forward to a lot of fun times [with a message to give out to the society too] with GGI!
Way to go guys!......Cheers, Sowmya
