His passion for cycling was born during the peak of COVID Pandemic back in April 2020 and it kept growing. I first met him during the Tour of Nilgiris in 2022 and was struk by his earnest enthusiasm for cycling. After crashing badly on the last day of TFN with in a few weeks he went on to complete his first Ultra event which was the Race Around Rwanda. In this episode we talk about his experiences in Tour of Nilgiris as well as his experience riding the 1000km self supported gravel event Race Around Rwanda. It was facinating to listen to his experiences especially from the self supported adventure in Rwanda. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. 0:00:00 Intro 0:04:10 How he got into cycling 0:08:45 Racing in Dubai and Cycling infrastructure in Dubai 0:12:12 Tour of Nilgiris experience 0:41:30 Race Around Rwanda Experience 0:48:00 Nutrition for Race Around Rwanda 1:05:00 His next ultra event 1:10:10 Closing remarks About the podcast: The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.
