The magic of Malaga, Spain .

-

  Cycling along Fuengirola! What a beautiful promenade! It’s lined up with amazing cafes and bars .    British pubs were definitely a common sight over there . In the coming days I did have a chance to explore more of Malaga but this Promenade definitely stole my heart. It’s touristic and yet less crowded . I could see many locals in the bars and people carrying out their sport such as this Kayak polo. That’s the beauty of cycling l There’s no way I could’ve explored these corners on foot .  The following day I braved a trip to Ronda . Wildfire managed to sit in a van and off we went to this picturesque place . I barely had 04 hrs before my return bus and hence , I couldn’t venture out too far from the center . A short ride and it was time for some catering . Ronda is the city which made me fall in love with walnut Goat cheese salad .  Alrighty , back to cycling . Ronda’s center has mostly cobbled path . The souvenir shops showcased these beautiful ceramic plate...

Toulouse , The Canal du Midi affair .

Image
  So , I landed into Toulouse and had an absolute pleasure of staying in a suite - It’s not the most posh abode but we are delighted that it’s centrally located and we have an entire living room to set ourselves. So, just a quick set up and off we go for a spin before I join my colleagues for dinner . Honestly , I hadn’t any research about which area of the city were we gonna explore . I still don’t own a quad lock phone holder so it’s difficult to navigate . Hence , we just followed the cycle path and with little intuitiveness reached the bridge . It’s always best to Save Park of your hotel name and then go wherever. I must mention that Toulouse has well-marked cycle path and as always people are respectful towards cyclists.  I joined my colleagues for dinner and while their afternoon was spent on phones    , nap &relaxation , me &Wildfire had already explored cool parts of the city . To be fair, without Wildfire, I tend to rot in my room too. And I can be e...

Me, Ms. Wildfire & the French Riviera.

  This is a short one . But it’s also the one closest to my heart . This is first time I took Ms. Wildfire with me and it was for a special occasion . So , me and Ms. Wildfire celebrated my 35th b’day exploring the vistas of Nice, France . It’s funny because back in 2017 when I had visited Nice for the very first time , I so wished that I had a bicycle to ride along that beautiful Riviera and soak in those views. . And we made it happen in 2024 ! Life works in beautiful ways . So, hold on to your dreams and they might just turn into reality in the most enchanting ways . However ,as we always end up having  some spice in our stories , this one is no less . It’s those minor and major challenges that make our stories memorable. So, Ms. Wildfire was comfortably laying down in the Cargo of the plane  and while I waited for boarding to be completed, I froze for a couple of secs with a “Oh no sigh” ! I had forgotten my tyre air pump at home . How could I ?? Yes, one ca...

  Purpose – I’ll keep it short and simple  and honest ! I want to  contribute to the traveling community just the way others blogs and videos have helped me all these years .  So, what do I have to offer y’ll ?  Me and Ms Wildfire are going to discover places through its cycling trails and hopefully my experiences will make you better prepared for your biking adventures.  Am I professional cyclist ? – I wish but no ! But the love for cycling is no less. Why cycling ? – For me, it screams freedom . Also because it helped me shed 20kgs . Cycling majorly got me out of binge eating .  Do I know bike maintenance? – We shall learn ! I have a gold fish memory of what I learn but I can’t keep my fear get the better of me . ( Meanwhile , I’m secretly praying that the bike doesn’t break down.)  Last but not the least – My blogs might not be the most detailed and well-researched but I believe all have great tips and suggestions to offer . I’d feel ...
