Foodie rides are always fascinating since you get to visit locales, taste new cuisines, and savour new experiences. Noida’s iconic cycling club, the Noida Cycling Club, makes these expeditions even more thrilling and spectacular. After all, being a part of a club that celebrates cycling as a way of life and gives a chance to bond over good food is a temptation that few can resist.

The destination for the 45 km ride on July 10 was Bille Di Hatti, situated in the heart of Delhi and famed for its Chole Bhature.

The excited group of riders gathered at 5:30 am at the Great India Place.   Several beginners were also a part of the ride. Before departing, the NCC admins defined the route and the halting spots for the riders. Several riders expressed an interest in leading the rides since they recognised the route, while the rest supported them by showcasing teamwork.

The bandwagon headed towards Noida Gate, which connects Delhi and Noida, where the rest of the riders joined the group.

The Noida Cycling Club riders dominated the roads, defying heavy traffic and elevated roads.

A rider’s tyre went flat on the way to the destination, which the group dealt with well, steering him in the right. direction. It took a little time after fixing the bandwagon to arrive at the destination.

Reaching Bille Di Hatti which was in Kamla Nagar, riders were full of hunger and very tempted to taste the Chole Bhature.

The aroma of Chole Bhature was irresistible to all the riders; the refreshing lassi was the perfect top-up.

The NCC team uniquely addressed attendance by requesting the riders to appear on camera with their names and a single sentence about biking with NCC. After enjoying the moment, the bunch departed the location and readied to go to their end destination, which was their houses.

The wind picked up speed on the way back- the undaunted riders unleashed their full capacity and outed not just the wind, but also the punishing elevations and a long downhill.

The rookie riders also put in their best efforts while riding, and the experts admired their efforts.

The last halt was the Akshardham loop. The riders thanked the Noida Cycling Club crew for the trip. Beginners praised the administrators for their assistance and expressed interest in longer trips.

 “I used to ride with NCC a long time ago but due to various problems I had left, but riding with NCC today brought me a memory of my favourite time,” one of the new riders remarked. Thank you very much, Noida Cycling Club.
