  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127
  It just gets better and better with each passing day. Day 7 on the BSA Tour Of Nilgiris was tough but exhilarating for the riders. Tough because of the ascent. No more because of bad roads. By the time riders reached Support Station 2, they had clocked 40 odd kilometers, riding uphill all the way.It [...]

• Digest #2, The Rest Day

  
  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127
  I’m wondering if it was a rest day or the most action packed day of the tour so far. Agreed that cycling today was zilch but action on the BSA Tour Of Nilgiris is not limited to just pedaling away to glory. Day 5 on the tour could not have been any better. Riders woke [...]

  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127
  Being on the road for 4 days and that too, as riders on the BSA Tour Of Nilgiris is a challenging proposition, by any means. If that wasn’t enough, the roads from Madikeri to Irrupu yesterday, literally, set the ass on fire. Nonetheless, a handful of BSA TFN riders did make the cut, by riding [...]

  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127

The BSA Tour Of Nilgiris ensures that riders are well taken care off while pedaling for hundreds of kilometers during a day. Support Stations are located throughout the route, mostly 30kms ...

  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127
  Until Dec 16th 2009, when the BSA Tour Of Nilgiris was kicked off, I considered myself a quintessential one. But definitions have changed since then. I maybe a dude still but I’m certainly not a biker. The real bikers are all riding on the BSA TFN. So if you’re not one of them, please refrain [...]

  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127
  The first support station was merely 24 kms away when the BSA Tour Of Nilgiris riders started from Hassan today morning. On testing terrain they rode, the road throwing a pothole at them, every now and then. The sight of the support station was a relief but the location was simply out of the world, [...]

  Me ... A Geek ... No way!! — Authority: 127
  On a cycling tour, even when the rider rests after a long day on the road, his mind maybe preoccupied. Reason-being the riding companion is missing. This uneasiness is understandable. With brands like Pinarello Paris, Giant, Colnago, Bianchi, amongst others, being on the BSA Tour Of Nilgiris, this emotional, and also ...
