Three Indian cyclists set to witness the inauguration of Olympics 2020, have taken a nobel but an adventure of a lifetime. The adventure of 3 cyclists, covering around 10,000 Kms and 8 countries in 230 days is set to begin on 15th of December 2019.
The Three-cyclists Haseeb Ahsan, 32 works with Amazon in Bangalore, Dona Jacob 29, works with TCS and Cliffin Francis, 29, a freelance teacher are set to undertake this cycling marathon starting from Kochi, Kerala on 15th December 2019, this cycling marathon will conclude in Olympic Stadium, Tokyo Japan, on the opening day of Tokyo Summer Olympics 24th July 2020.
Interestingly neither of three cyclists are professional cyclists, all motivated by sheer passion of travelling and common interest in sports, they have planned to spread awareness of a cause which is rarely discussed in Indian schools, "Mental Health" during their journey. The trio have planned on associating themselves with certain NGOs that will help them visit schools every week where they will spread awareness about the importance of a healthy mind. And they are going to talk about not one, but two stigmatised issues, other one being menstrual health and hygiene.
They have also planned, that they would carry a poster with them on the tour and gather best wishes for the Indian contingent participating in the 2020 Summer Olympics to cheer them on.
On their journey, Cliffin, Dona, and Haseeb are going to be on the road for 222 days, during which they will pass through Bangalore, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Calcutta, Meghalaya, and Mizoram within India before cycling through Bangladesh, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China as they head to Japan.
They have setup an Instagram Page "@snails.on.wheels" for sharing their experience which has now (as of my writing this post) around 800+ followers, they will be documenting their long embarked journey through social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram. Their YouTube channel will launch on the day their trip will commence.
