MARGAO
Margao-based Xaxti Riders will organise a 100km, all-women cycling ride on Sunday, November 8.
A group of 25 women cyclists will ride a 100-km distance, through some of the most scenic villages and beach belt of South Goa. Titled ‘Go Girls Go 100!’, it's the first-ever all-women 100km cycling ride in Goa.
“A century ride is always special for self-confidence,” said ride coordinator Binota Nadkarni. “I am sure that this first-of-its-kind initiative by Xaxti Riders will not only encourage participants to push the limits but would inspire many other potential women cyclists.”
The easy-paced and fully-supported ride will be flagged off from Margao at 5.30 am. The riders will be treated to a nourishing breakfast at halfway point. There will be water points at 30km and 75km each.
“Unlike other cycling challenges, ‘Go Girls Go 100!’ is absolutely free for the participants and we haven’t charged even for basic registration,” Nadkarni informed.
Due to more-than-expected response and keeping in mind the ongoing pandemic, Xaxti Riders had to restrict the ride participation at 25.
Xaxti Riders is a hugely popular cycling club in South Goa. Over the years, it has built up a sizeable biking community and has inspired a generation of young riders and cycling enthusiasts. It organises daily and weekend rides to induce fitness and reduce stress.
