Cycling in 4 states on single gear cycle 20 (Final): Concluded with gratitude!

✪ “Nothing personal, this is everyone’s capacity”
✪ Why so much appreciation?
✪ Further interactions and interviews
✪ Cycling can make you meet a tiger and a Tendulkar
✪ Wonderful meeting with Dr. Amit Samarth!!
✪ Signing off with amazing memories and incredible India
✪ Gratitude towards one and all

Hello. Now writing the last blog about this expedition that was completed exactly as per the plan on 11th October 2022. The first and foremost emotion in the mind while completing this was tremendous gratitude. Everyone, all the groups, amazing people and the organizations whom I met during this tour, the cycle, the nature- everyone helped to complete this. Also I would like to mention about Bharat Vikas Sangam, who helped me for many places in Karnataka. Felt overwhelmed with this gratitude when I reached Nagpur. What an unbelievable ride this has been. It was a bliss to ride this and to do this. It is not going to sink in so soon....

Cycling in 4 states on single gear cycle 19: Nagbhid to Nagpur (103 kms)

✪ Third century of the expedition to finish off
✪ Wonderful reception in Nagpur
✪ School visit in Nagpur
✪ Interview at Deeksha Bhoomi
✪ Unbelievable support by the cycle
✪ Too dream-like to be real stuff!

Hello. Final and 18th day of the expedition, 11th October 2022. Had great interactions in Nagbhid and also had proper rest. Now, the final day of the expedition! But till the last kilometer is done, we cannot say anything in sports such as cycling. But from inside I know it will be the last day. Nothing troublesome happened to the cycle or the cyclist so far, so it will not happen today also, simply! For a change, the weather has become rainy again. Actually it is helpful for me. Otherwise October heat in Nagpur region is scorching.  Today I will cycle around 103 kms, that means I will have third century of this expedition.

Cycling in 4 states on single gear cycle 18: Gadchiroli to Nagbhid (76 kms)

✪ Interactions in Armori and Brahmapuri
✪ Second last day of the expedition!
✪ Vainganga river and forests
✪ 10th October- Mental health day
✪ Nagpur calling and waiting!
✪ Completed 1341 kms in 17 days

Hello. 17th day of the expedition, 10th October 2022. Cycle expedition was complete long ago, but writing is taking much longer time! But the experiences are so unique that I cannot restrain myself. 10th October is the mental health day. Theme for this cycle expedition was talking to people about mental health, mental and physical health and fitness. Also I visited some organizations and groups working for this cause on my route that had started from Sindhudurg, Maharashtra and was now coming to end near Nagpur via Goa, Karnataka and Telangana. The inspiration for my this tour was my interactions with special children in Nagpur. After meeting them I had decided to use cycle for discussing this subject with the people. Any way. I had proper rest in Gadchiroli. Now just two more days are remaining!
