The Noida Cycling club is all about changing and improving lives. It is a platform for people from different walks of life to get together, sweat together and ride together. 

I wouldn’t say Noida Cycling Club transformed my life, but it surely prevented it from worsening. My health was gradually deteriorating throughout  2018. Despite my best attempts, I was unable to improve. My body had become a burden on   me, then on one fine day, the doctor strongly advised me to change my lifestyle and incorporate cycling into my daily routine. I murmured, “As if I didn’t know?” I was aware that I needed to include some exercise into my lifestyle in order to improve my health, but I found it difficult to take the initiative.

A few days after I spoke to the doctor about the lack of courage that I had, he  doctor advised me to join the Noida Cycling Club. He said, “When you would see people of your age doing things that you are afraid to, it would  motivate you. Moreover, when people ride in a group, it becomes a thing of fun.”  His words  made me join the NCC. When I look back and reflect on the journey, I wish to thank him for his advice.

The Noida Cycling Club  has made a huge difference in my life in a variety of ways. I’ve started to think of myself as a fitness freak. I’ve heard younger people describe their employment as a barrier to exercise, but I’ve never felt that way. I’ve been working for IBM for a long time, yet my job has never stopped me from cycling. It happened because riding with NCC isn’t a strenuous workout for me; rather, it’s a welcome break from work. The best thing about this group, in my opinion, is that the organisers are very concerned about the riders’ safety. We always have a car at our side, which serves as a safety net for the riders. If a rider is hurt, the club’s medical crew is ready to help.

It’s been three years since I became punctual with cycling. I go on a ride twice a week, and all I can think about while paddling is getting to my destination and heading  back. That makes it easier for me to ride in a flow. I now have numerous cycling memories. Writing this blog about my rides  with NCC is an experience  in  itself, but the finest one was when we once accidentally went ahead of our destination and discovered a beautiful location to ride.

NCC as a club doesn’t just keep me fit, but also allows  me an opportunity to interact with like-minded people who help me grow in life. At times, we even share ideas related to work.

Finally, I hope that everyone gets to enjoy the same amount of happiness that I am experiencing at the Noida Cycling Club. And to those sleepyheads who struggle to get out of bed in the morning or who lack motivation, I would reply that all of these problems vanish the moment you get out of bed. That’s the only obstacle you’ll face. The rest is a breeze.
