The first ever Downhill race in India was conducted in Bangalore as a part of the Bangalore Bicycle Championships
It absolutely rocked. The whole setup, the spectators and the race itself were mind blowing.
Watching the downhill bikes flowing on the trail were a treat indeed.
A special shout-out to all the Pune bikers who joined us for this race and were part of history!
Nilesh Dhumal a.k.a Nelly snatched the yellow jersey by a whisker in the Men’s category (by a mere 0.4 seconds) and Manjula took the yellow for women. Congratulations folks!
Check out the results on the Race timer website

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CYCLING
I love riding my bike. Whether it’s a simple commute, a high-intensity road race, a jaw-grinding brevet, fixie rides thru packed Indian city or a kick-ass technical single track – I love it all. Apart from riding bicycles, I love being all geeky and know everything there is to know about bicycles, technology, bike fit, and service.
I started BUMSONTHESADDLE to share this passion for cycling.
DISCIPLINE: Partial towards MOUNTAIN BIKING but love it all
