Nov 2013: Arkavathy 150
The Ride
We present the second populaire of the 2013-2014 season. This is also the launch ride for the brevets starting from 23 November 2013. On this ride we catch the river Arkavathi at Kanakpura riding along NH 209, which is probably the best national highway for cycling around Bangalore. Then we follow the river upstream, reaching Manchanbele through Ramanagara, along a scenic and peaceful route. Like a brevet, this populaire is a completely self-supported ride to be completed in a fixed time. A populaire is usually of a distance less than 200K. Note that brevets and populaires are not competitive rides.Ride Summary
