The Bhubaneswar Cycling and Adventure Club (BCAC) organized the 3
rd edition of Cycling under the Stars with more than 70 cyclists from different parts of Odisha. The event was held on Saturday night with the participants riding around 180 kilometres from Bhubaneswar to Puri then to Konark and back to Bhubaneswar on Sunday morning. Cyclists dressed in Neon- green jersey, helmet and reflective straps with lights on the front and tail end of their bikes offered a spectacular view for the public.
The adventure was quite unique as 70 cyclists including bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, students moved through the busy city roads of Bhubaneswar, while riding through strong headwinds till Puri, offering customary prayer at Bada-Danda (Grand Road) in front of Jagannath Temple, savouring a delicious dinner at Puri, moving on the utter silence zone of Puri-Konark Marine Drive, taking power naps on the beach of Chandrabhaga and experiencing a thundershower in the wee-hours of the morning.
