Puneeth Rajkumar taken for a ride!

Puneeth Rajkumar is an achiever off-screen too. We all know that Puneeth is a fitness freak, running being his favourite sport. But the actor now wants to take up cycling seriously. As a start, Appu, as he is fondly called, rode 44 kms, without stopping, from his home in Sadhashivnagar to

Nandi Hills

in flat two hours. Puneeth set out on his

cycle

in hopes of achieving this feat, and wanting to test his stamina, at around 5:45 am along with three of his friends. 2 hours 15 minutes later, at around 8 am, the actor was at Nandi Hills, enjoying the floating clouds. He was also accompanied by his family members, but on a cycle. They towed along in three separate cars, just to motivate Puneeth.
