I did try to talk her out of it, but she showed me the light.<\/p>\n<p>SearchCycle 2013. What a fabulous experience. We collected at 7am in front of the Red Fort. 15 members of the OMLogic Team, alongwith other cycling enthusiasts showed their love for the cycle. A picture session in front of the Red Fort and off we were to our first destination \u2013 Kashmere Gate, people watching us weird as two aliens (Gillian and James) led the way.<\/p>\n<p>A quick photo stop and we left towards Wazirabad bridge. The next stop was at a CCD in Outram Lanes. No milk in the CCD since it was just about 9am, but a helpful waitress served coffee, muffins and some chocolate cake for the true connoisseurs. I managed to conquer Wazirabad bridge. Gillian and James left for Meerut and then Hastinapur, Moradabad, Bareilly and en-route to Varanasi. I am truly in AWE!<\/p>\n<p>The OMLogic team enjoyed, bonded, went to Murthal for lunch and asked to begin a Bikers club.<\/p>\n<p>So, here we are!<br \/>\nOMLogic announces the launch of OMLogic Biking Community, a community of working professionals, who love cycling and will want to go on bike rides every so-often. The target \u2013 A ride to Agra at Search Cycle 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Though we welcome &amp; love existing cyclists, we want to specifically invite those who always wanted, but could never find company.<\/p>\n<p>Come one, come all\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I recently started going to office on my bicycle. Seems like such a perfect way to keep healthy. I have my SUV coming alongwith so am not adding to the environment yet, but am planning on paying my dues to that soon as well.<\/p>\n<p>Those interested, send me a mail at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:bikers@omlogic.com\">bikers@omlogic.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ride, not Drive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guy and a gal decided to visit India from NY and Seattle respectively and wanted to go on a long cycling expedition to explore the never-seen India.
