A big thank you Johann.Daniels for a very healthy discussion and clearing of doubts regarding the "Mumbai-Cyclothon-2011".The value of the "Internet" and blogging sites like www.cyclists.in has been realised, now only hope "Cycling" as a hobby as well as a pollution  free form of transport increases amongst  we Indians although the present road and traffic conditions are a definite deterrent to "commuter cyclists". .

This is for information of  Farhaan and Malcolm as also to other cyclists wanting to participate in "Mumbai_cyclothon-2011".Thanks to Jahann.daniels that i managed to find the  "M.E.T Grounds" in Bandra Reclamaition locality.The "M.E.T Ground" is located adjacent to the famous "Lilaavat Hospital and the "Registration Booths" for "Mumbai Cyclothon-2011"  based in a corner of this huge ground.You can get youself registered on the spot at the booths by paying the respective "registration fees" or if you have paid the same in advance through "Credit Card' or  cash through "Landmark outlets" then have to produce your "registration Voucher" at these counters for "Final Registration".You will be handed your participating nos along with a  T-shirt and a "carry-Bag", good gifts for remembrance.I will be participating in the 28 Kms ride and not 15 kms "Green ride" as earlier planned, decided to try my fitness at age 50 and  my participating nos is "3510".Please don't misplace your nos otherwise you won't be allowed to participate in the competition. The internet has really  made communication and the World a much smaller place to live in and it was nice meeting you personally  at the "M.E.T Grounds" Mr Johann.Daniels.Met a few of www.cyclists.in bloggers at the "M.E.T Grounds, feel nice to know that cycling as a sport is emerging amongst Mumbai's young generation.

Thanks Johann.Daniels, have finally obtained the information regarding registration and participation in the "Mumbai Cyclothon-2011" after great difficulty and inquiries. As mentioned, i personally went to "Landmark" at High Street Phoenix and paid Rs 382 for registration after filling in the form.Its bizarrely strange but true that the "Landmark" salespersonnel staff had no information of the conduction of the race or the procedure after registration.I had to go there twice and was finally told on the phone to contact  customerservice@kyazoonga.com and call at(022) 4488 1000, the same as adressed by the website.

The format is as follows :                                                                                                                 1) all participants who have registered by paying cash at "Landmark" retail outlets are to personally visit the "Mumbai cyclothon stall"  at "Bandra Reclamation" on 11th  or 12th between 1000hrs to 1800 hrs for registration and rules, regulations, etc.

2) The Forms should be brought along for registration confirmation.

Request the organisers to kindly make the participants registration procedure simpler for novices and first timers to participate.Manny  lower economic strata of society participants would find it difficult to participate due to the lack of simple registration and participating instructions. Manny owners of cycles from lower economic backgrounds  are not proficient with computers and given Mumbai's population, wouldn't be surprised if a future Indian international cyclist emerges from either the slums or lesser prividged sections of society.Events like the "Mumbai Cyclothon" create a stage for the discovery of talent, especially in the World's second most populous country.
