Kudos to Joseph Rodrigues for bringing together cycling enthusiasts in Goa under the banner 'Goa Cycle Club' on Facebook. The club has nearly 300 members. For the Critical Mass in Panjim today there were about 19 present. There was also a Critical Mass at Vasco happening at the same time.
We gathered at the Dayanand Bandodkar Samadhi in Miramar and set out around 5.30 p.m. From the Miramar Circle we went to Panjim via VMS Law College and St.Inez. In Panjim, we went along the 18th June Road upto the Panjim Church; went down from Cortin; took left at Rua de Ourem and then left again near 'Down the Road'. We then cycled along M.G road, past Don Bosco School till the St.Inez circle, then turned right towards Kala Academy and then followed D.B. road back to Miramar beach.
It was a great experience. There was no much traffic on the way and the two traffic police following us on their Motor Bike did a fine job of regulating the traffic at crucial junctions.
I met many new cycling enthusiasts. In particular Mr. Veenu Vas and Mr. John Aguiar. John has cycled in the 80's from Goa to Hyderabad and Pune! There is a long trip to Chorao Island planned in mid April. The next Critical Mass is on 25th April. Everyone is invited.
