01 DOCS & FRIENDS FITNESS GROUP


 Couple of years ago, in Guntur, we started a cycling club called 'DOCS' which stands for "Doctors on Cycles." The idea was for promoting fitness for all. We did a couple of cycling events which caught media attention. The idea that fitness activities practiced by doctors naturally promoted others to take up fitness activities.
As the days progressed, some other professionals, students and business men were joining our routine rides. WhatsApp Group helped us to communicate and plan rides. We changed our group name to " "DOCS & Friends"
Other fitness activities like running, swimming and gym workouts were being practiced and shared on WhatsApp  and Facebook pages.
We do group rides, our members participate in national and international cycling events. Some our group members have done 100, 300, 600 and even 1200 kilometer cycling events. Marathoners (42 Km) and ultra marathanors ( 50, 60 and longer KM running) are there in the group .
There are Triathletes and Half Iron Man participants in the group.
We actively promote physical fitness activities of all kinds. Some of us do trekking too.
Our group is thriving with activities.

Running an aid station in the Heart of the Forest.

Image
Volunteers are the Heart of any event, the message on WhatsApp read. For someone like me who thrives on adventure, uncertainty, organizing, and being in the great outdoors, this is an opportunity to satisfy my soul while assisting my friends who are the organizers of The Eastern Trail Series - Happy Forest run. The event took place in Kondapalli forest, a vast 33,000-acre expanse nestled in the Eastern Ghats. The dedicated organizing team had diligently placed signboards and cleared the trail the day before. It was then our turn, as volunteers, to take on the most critical task: managing an aid station deep within the heart of the forest. Our responsibility was to operate this vital aid station, located in the very midst of the forest. We embarked on a journey, driving deep into the woods, carrying an array of water containers, refreshments, a first-aid kit, tents, and prepared to spend the night. We inquired with local residents for the most accessible route into the forest. Their ama...

INTO THE LIFE

Image
If living is what you call a Life, you must read this. Because this place is all LIFE. I was intimated about the trip 5 days prior. My pockets were empty out of money but were full of determination and desperation to go. I had started thinking of ways and decided to sell things on OLX. I had uploaded ancient coins, a vintage reel camera, a cycle pump and a path detecting robot vehicle I had made during our final semester project.  I was running out of time and sold none of the above. I was afraid but deep inside I strongly wanted to go. Fortunately, on the very last day I got calls from olx buyers and sold everything on a single day. Then I got my bike serviced and packed all the stuff.  Then I was informed to get a MTB to enjoy off-roading. Again I started searching for alternatives. Phoned one of my friend, took his mtb and getting it serviced would have costed me a brand new bike. So I got the damaged pedal welded without actually replacing it, fixed disk brakes on my o...

Bike Packing Trip To #BHADRACHALAM

Image
What could possibly be more blissful than a long bike-packing trip?  We had planned this ride with the intention of making the last days of college much more memorable. I am Krishna kanth along with my buddy and brother- in-arms,  Samanyu. Prior to the trip, we hadn't the slightest idea that the place would turn out to be so stunning. BHADRACHALAM, the place gave us what we wanted-- PLEASURE.  With neither a bungee strap nor a packing bag, we made it all the way with only a fold-able travel bag and an elastic rope. Though we always carried Rear Lights, Front Lights, Extra Batteries, Puncture Kit, Salt Capsules, Wet Wipes, Chargers,  Helmets and Reflective Vests, we decided to add two pairs of Night Wear and Casuals to the list. After airing up our tyres, cleaning our chains and dusting off the frame, we finally started.  We had 220 kilometers to cover. About 50 kilometers from the start point, we pulled to a halt at a place called Kondapalli. T...
