Goa Cycles! Families and kids join the inaugural tour
(L-R) Martin (and Pia in carrier), Ulrike, Milan, Anibel and Luis (click to view more photos)
The first ride of the Goa Cycle Club happened in Panjim on Sunday February 8, 2009. It was scheduled to start at 10am, but I forgot the key to my cycle lock (my bike was stored at Luis’ overnight) and so we had to jump in his car, drive to Alto Porvorim, grab the key and drive back.
We cycled from the GPO to the Mandovi ferry jetty, and along Dayanand Bandodkar Marg to the front of Kala Academy. We joined the Ferus-Comelo family – Martin, Anibel and youngsters Milan and Pia – for chai, snacks and chat, then continued cycling along the Promenade to Miramar Beach. It was a short ride, but great for getting acquainted.
We all agreed to do it again soon. I’ll create a temporary “Goa Cycle Club” page on the Girl Gone Goa website and will post upcoming rides and events as they arise. Feel free to contact me by clicking Comments.
