Sir Arthur Cotton Ride (1,000 Kilometer Brevet)
Date: 26 January 2018 - 29 January 2018 Total distance: 1,013 Kilometers Start Time: 11:00 am 26 January 2018 Return Time: 7:00 am 29 January 2018 With: Shashidar KC, Amarchand Altitude Profile: Hyderabad - Hanamkonda - Eturnagaram - Bhadrachalam - Maredumilli - Rajahmundry - Vijayawada - Suryapet - Hyderabad I had started off the year with a 170 kilometer ride and was fairly happy with the recovery from achilles tendonitis. Although I knew that riding a 1,000 kilometer brevet was asking for too much, I decided to risk it and hoped that the leg would hold. If it held, then it would be great, if not I was prepared for time off the saddle again. I did think of riding the 600 kilometer by the Bangalore Randonneurs which was scheduled for the same day, however, as it was a repeat of the 1,000 kilometer route, I was not keen and feared that boredom would set in if I attempted this route again.
