Publicity By Cycling By Tr Ram Swaroop of MKRT 181

Tablers and Circlers,

Publicity is a key thing for Tabling

Heres the latest inductee of MKRT 181 with another tabler of Area 2 who went Cycling on ECR road on sunday 18th September for 28 Kms
Reaxion Cycling Club in Chennai is on a mission to revive cycling.
They organized a cycling competition from Thiruvanmayur to
Mahabalipuram (about 45km) sponsored by BSA. The goal was to select
the top 10 cyclists from this race for the grand cycling race in the
Himalayas next month.

In spite of the heavy rain from the weather gods that night about one
hundred and fifty (150) enthusiastic participants showed up for the
competition on Sunday, September 18 at 4.30 a.m.

Because of the rain the race flagged off from the first toll gate on
ECR, the distance was 28km. We were accompanied by an ambulance and
safety cars for assistance. We were provided with Energy Bars,
Glucose and Water at the checkpoints. I made sure that at every check
point I talked to everyone about MKRT's Logo on my shirt and spread
the good word called "Tabling".

I did this Hercules City Challenge up to Temple Bay (Mahabs) on a
bicycle before. This time it was very special because I was wearing
the Round Table MKRT181's T-Shirt and the other reason is I finished
it after partying hard at Tr. Kaval's (Area 2 IPC) Social till 1:30am
at ALOFT. I must admit that I am kinda proud of myself, I honestly
did not believe that I would make it. At the end of it all a
chartered bus brought us back to the starting point (I slept through
the whole bus ride)...
