A cycle ride passing through villages around Nagarahole and Bandipur
Tiger Reserves to create awareness among people about the impact of
forest fires. The ride is being organised by Wildlife Conservation
Society(WCS) and Ride A Cycle Foundation(RACF) for the first time
under the Eco Conservation Ride Series.

The cycle ride will start on the 18th Feb 2011 from Veerahosa halli,
Nagarahole at 7.00am and end at Muttigehundi by 4.00 pm on the 20th
Feb 2011.  We will be cycling about 40km/ day and cover about 50 -60
villages to spread the awareness.  A specialized drama group who have
created a street play depicting the evils of the forest fires will be
accompanying us throughout, and will be performing in the villages.

It is a very scenic route that runs along the Nagarhole and Bandipur
Wildlife Sanctuaries. It is an MTB terrain with the last stretch being
an amazing off road stretch that will test your riding skills.

Kindly Note: There will be no support vehicle during most stretches of
the ride due to some of the road being 4 wheeler unfriendly. However,
the vehicle will be available at the start point and end point each
day to transport our luggage.

The minimum requirement for riding on this program will be,

   - To speak in Kannada fluently
   - To be able to cycle 40km / day
  - Accomodation will be basic. Kindly get your sleeping bag along.
