Story of my first ever 200KM bike ride (plus an Excel dashboard with ride stats)
Ok people. Let me tell you that this post is almost not about Excel. It is about how one Excel blogger’s (yours truly) dream of long distance cycling came true. So sit back, grab your favorite drink and read between sips.
So what is this all about?
Last Sunday (27th July) & Monday (28th), I finished my first ever 200KM bicycle ride. I rode for a little more than 12 hours, burned 5,179 calories & rode 206 kilometers.
It is definitely one of the most memorable, tiresome & uplifting experiences in my life. So naturally, I want to share the story with you.

My date with a mall
My date with a mall Indorians suddenly found a new hobby, “mall hopping”, thanks largely to the new mall ‘Treasure Island’. After hearing rave reviews from several of my classmates I went there a couple of days back, my experiences… Park here, not there:Since the mall has very limited capacity of 2/4 wheelers parking, we […]
Feel Like God!
I came across this Bajaj Avenger DTS-i ad in TV while I was Delhi a couple of days back. I must say the ad is very well made. Being an ad fanatic I can see the commercial creating instant associations in anyone in bike riding age. The ad uses Leh backdrop with tough (off)roads which […]
T4 – Treak To Table Top
