You keep promoting your inner self about your capabilities to withstand the most malignant competition you\u2019d ever have.

Lucknow is also the administrative headquarters of Lucknow District and Lucknow Division. Located in what was historically known as the Awadh region, Lucknow has always been a multicultural city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Courtly manners, beautiful gardens, poetry, music, and fine cuisine patronized by the Persian-loving Shia Nawabs of the city are well known amongst Indians and students of South Asian culture and history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lucknow is popularly known as The City of Nawabs. It is also known as the Golden City of the East, Shiraz-e-Hind, and The Constantinople of India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek\/\">Deoria Tal Chandrashila Trek \u2013 Travel Guide, Blog &amp; Itinerary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Delhi_to_Lucknow_Bike_Ride\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My Delhi to Lucknow Bike Ride<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A day before I had to ride, I got my bike serviced on 12th March. And bought a new OGK full-face helmet the same day. I decided to kick start at 5 in the morning but due to my ever-lasting laziness, I could only manage to leave home at 05:45 am.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Setting the trip meter to 0000, I was expecting a mileage of around 50kmpl or more from my machine as during the last road trip to Agra in January, my bike snored fuel @ 50 kmpl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rather, I was expecting a lot out of this road trip! I was a bit aware of road conditions on NH-24 coz every day I had to travel a piece of the highway to my college near Hapur City. But I never knew that the roads were a real mess after one crosses Moradabad and reaches Bareilly &amp; Shahjahanpur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The route looked like:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-3.gif\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29000 size-full\" title=\"delhi to lucknow bike ride\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-3.gif\" alt=\"delhi to lucknow bike ride\" width=\"800\" height=\"655\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Delhi &#8211; 60 &#8211; Hapur &#8211; 100 &#8211; Moradabad &#8211; 91 &#8211; Bareilly &#8211; 160 &#8211; Sitapur &#8211; 90 &#8211; Lucknow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(Distances as per my bike\u2019s odometer)<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_the_Way\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the Way<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At 07:35 am, I stopped at Sambhavli to make a phone call to dad and that jotted down 76kms on my trip meter.

Having gulped the stuff, I clicked a few shots of my ride and the place (like the one above) &amp; soon went off leaving a small tip, for I needed wishes, regardless of the manner they came.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the dhaba in Gajraula<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29001 size-full\" title=\"delhi to lucknow bike ride\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4.jpg\" alt=\"delhi to lucknow bike ride\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/delhi-to-lucknow-bike-ride-4-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I crossed Moradabad through the smooth roads &amp; reached Bareilly at 12:00 pm having ridden 251 km already.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bareilly is a crowded city man; full of rickshaw drivers &amp; street hawkers. So definitely not a stoppage for me for I hate crowd. I again stopped at 01:15 pm (307kms) somewhere near Bareilly district to freshen up and give rest to my companion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a Hanuman temple on the other side of the road, so I decided to hop in. I clicked some pictures of my bike with the temple in the background. I even called up my cousin here in Delhi and confirmed my well-being. It was around 200 more km to go, so I decided to start again. Riding through the messed out, potholed roads of Sitapur, I landed in Lucknow at 05:15 pm. My ride went up to 501kms.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lucknow\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lucknow<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I was in the Passion Hunt City itself, so I drove directly off to the venue of the hunt in Hazratganj, for I couldn\u2019t simply wait until I saw the place. It was a college ground on the Rana Pratap Marg where the next megacity hunt was going to be held the next day. I felt low standing in front of the entrance gate of the venue, as it was a mixed feeling of confidence and fear. After all, coming 500 km down the line for a competition wasn\u2019t worth it, at least as far as my family is concerned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But this was what I chose for myself. So I cheered myself up &amp; called up my friend in Delhi to give me the contact details of his uncle in Lucknow. Having got the details, I landed up at the place at 06:45 pm, parked my bike inside the house, and stretched myself as soon as I hit the bed there. I was dead tired, so no more theories now. I had dinner and fell asleep at 09:30 pm with the alarm clock set to ring at 7 in the morning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/stok-kangri-expedition-preparation-planning\/\">Stok Kangri Expedition \u2013 Experience of a Lifetime<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Challenge\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Challenge<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alright, it was 14th March, the day itself. I was pretty confident regarding the hunt. I packed myself up for the competition and reached the venue at Hazratganj before the time at 09:45 am. My excitement at that moment was sky high. I found only 1 person standing near the parking with his bike which was by the side of the registration counter. There were no other participants there yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I parked there n went to fill the registration form and check out the rules and all. I met the rider from Lucknow itself, named Sam, who was studying as well as working in Lucknow only.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was nice meeting a passionate biker in the first place after entering the strange city!! I registered myself and got inside with my machine with the hope that maybe this time I might get what I missed in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hunt was on!!! 1st round was the figure of 8 rounds. I managed to create 8 figures of 8 in 90 seconds (which was the allotted time). It was the same as much as I did in Delhi!! Then I was forwarded to round 2 which was a slow race and the rider had to finish in the maximum time the distance of 50 feet in a prescribed area!! I finished the slow race in 47 seconds which was pretty less than the highest which was 1min22sec.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Win\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Win<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But I still didn&#8217;t lose hope for I knew I was gonna kick this one in the quiz round. And so what happened, I answered 10 out of 10 correct. I was delighted to hear my name in the top 11 bikers in Lucknow Event. Now it was the stage round in which every biker out of the final 11 had to speak for 2 minutes on the stage about his passion for bikes and the reason for which he was the most passionate one in India!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People spoke a lot, so did I. I spoke my heart out in front of the judges. I\u2019m glad I got a chance to speak what I really felt for biking and how strongly I was connected to it!! I\u2019m glad that everyone was impressed by my speech and applauded me gracefully.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now came the time when the final 4 bikers had to be declared!! I had my fingers crossed and guess what, I made it to the final 4. I jumped again coz coming so far and getting selected in the final 4 was much of an achievement..!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now it was the slow slalom round in which each biker had to complete a slalom race in the maximum time. I completed it in 67 seconds but there\u2019s always someone better than we are and so what happened. The winner guy did it in 2 minutes or so.
