Cycling for day one is complete.. have reached lodge Prantik which is about 3 kms ahead of Bagnan... Cycled for about 50 kms today.. nice relaxed ride for day 1... started cycling outside Kolkata at around 5 am and reached here at 11.. not bad considering we had two looooong breaks for breakfast and juice :)
Cycles need fixing though :( we found out last night that things were not quiet as cool as we expected... hopefully we will find a mechanic in Kharagpur tomorrow to fix the cycles...
There is a gujrati group here at the lodge, celebrating Republic Day.. a lot of fun.. the children, especially the girls, were very excited to see so many women cycling.. they came up and spoke to us.. had a nice chat with them.. they have offered to provide lunch for us with the group :) sweet...
GGG girls relaxing after first day's ride...

Logging out for now...

Lunch was so tasty.... we all ate like pigs and slept... the people were so happy to feed us and meet us... we had a long chat with all of them.. we felt like celebrities :) nothing more planned for this evening.. dinner, meeting and sleep.. we have to leave early tomorrow morning (and this will be the case for the next one month... :( )
