Three Friends Dharmesh Gandhi, Naresh Naik and Nainesh Shah took up Cycling as a serious endurance sport. They enjoyed Sunday cycling expeditions to Valsad to Dholai Coastal highway, Tour of Village road and many more so much that they decided to share their joy with their nears and dears. Sunday Revolution is the first activity that came up and their infectious enthusiasm activated more than 5-10 riders who joined them in cycling expeditions of 40 to 50 Kilometers in and around Valsad. The activity generated so much interest that nearly 5-10 people signed up for Sunday Cycling revolution. Everyone decided to form a body that promotes Cycling as a sport. The idea of Sunday Cycling Club – Valsad was born.
“When we went for Tour of Dang (75 kilomers, 1days,) we saw a Bicycling culture in Valsad District, Chikhli., Navsari. They have around 350+ members and from there we came back with an idea of Sunday Cycling Club” Says Dharmesh Gandhi on formation of SUNDAY SPORTS CLUB.
Every Sunday there are around 5 to 10 members who start form a point and complete a pre decided route. Soon they all reaped the benefits of cycling, in the form of a rejuvenated body and soul. They decided to help others benefit from their new found knowledge. The initiators feel that cycling is yet untapped in most parts of India, though being the best form of non–impact exercise. These are people who feel that you are unable to enjoy nature in cars due to the speed. Cycling on the other hand takes you places. It is exhausting, tiring yet exhilarating and you get to experience “The Wind in your face”.
The initial Sunday rides have now matured to regular rides on Sunday and Tuesday also. SUNDAY SPORTS CLUB is a non-profit organization and came into being after signing of its constitution by a core group of 3 members on January, 2017….
