Cycle run report
Ganv Bhavancho Ekvott organized a cycle run from Patradevi on the Northern border of Goa to Polem on the Southern border. The 138 kms route was completed by the cyclists in 8:45 hours.
The run started at 4:15 am from Patradevi. Honorary member of GBE Donald Mackenzie completed the entire trek 8:20 hours. Other members who cycled the entire route were GBE President John Douglas Coutinho and Joint Secretary Ashley Antao.
Managing Committee member Benedito Fernandes who started the cycle run had to pull out due to the injury to his tail bone. He however bounced back to cycle from Canacona to Polem a grueling 24 kms distance.
GBE member Jose Inas Fernandes cycled from Cortalim to the serpentine and steep Karmal Ghat and John Mendes cycled in the beginning from Patradevi to Bambolim and later on from Margao to Karmal Ghat.
The cycle run was held not only as an endurance test but also to pass on the message of fuel conservation.
