PANAJI
The Panaji-based TriGoa Foundation will organise the second edition of its ‘TriGoa Multi-City Century Ride’ on Sunday, November 8.
In what will be a unique ride, cyclists can attempt a 100km endurance ride from the city of their choice, be it Panaji, Margao, Ponda or Vasco. All the rides will begin at 0630 hrs and cyclists will be given seven and a half hours to complete the ride.
In a media release issued on Monday, Rajesh Malhotra, founder, TriGoa Foundation said, “This is a unique 100km ride, where cyclists from the four major Goan cities will start simultaneously and cross each other along the route. While Panaji and the Vasco riders will move in a clockwise direction, Ponda and Margao riders will move in an anti-clockwise direction. Special arrangements for breakfast, snacks, ice-cream and juices have been made in each city along the route to keep the cyclists hydrated and energised.”
According to Malhotra, participants must be minimum of 15 years of age to register for the event, but a parent or guardian will have to ride alongside cyclists below the age of 18.
Malhotra added that this was a ‘self-supported’ ride and no mechanical support would be provided along the route. “No pick-up option will be provided by the organisers along the route and participants will have to arrange their own transport if they decide to quit midway. Also, we insist that all cyclists will have to wear masks and line up keeping safe distance at the start, finish and all control points. All Covid-19 guidelines set by the authorities must be followed,” Malhotra said.
