In my first attempt, I failed to go across the first part of the FilmNagar hill of the three parts uphill on the road that joins filmnagar (near Jubilee hills) to old Mumbai road. I was riding the SS cycle Volcano model. After reaching certain height, it just got stopped. I had to walk through the entire uphill that may range around 500 mts with three major steep inclinations.
I tried on a gear bike, hero hawk, with a goal; at least to go till the second part of the uphill…I took some inputs from Atul who had already ride that uphill many times. He was going ahead of me, and I moved gradually, putting that little extra effort before reaching the first steep, and changed the gear at the right time, and could come over the first stage of the hill…now the second steep rise was just 40 mts away, I took some rest on the bike and then started pulling, and with second gear I could pull up the second uphill, and the third one was just nearing, and the killing one - the toughest, I spent most of my energy in the first two…I was literally out of breadth, and I pulled hard and reached near the summit but then just gave up…before 5 meters to go to reach on the top…
Though I achieved the goal for the trip, yet felt bad, for couldn’t make it after reaching the summit…and just missed in a whisker…But it was a good experience in riding the Hills, it needs not just strength but right planning on conserving energy.
