A Proud Moment for Cookoo Cycling Club: Dad–Son Duo Completes 400 KM BRM Together

Cookoo Cycling Club is extremely proud to celebrate the achievement of a remarkable father–son duo from Namakkal – Senthil and Rithik – who successfully completed the challenging 400 KM BRM (Brevet Randonneurs Mondiaux) together.

The BRM route covered a demanding journey through Coimbatore – Senjari – Kangeyam – Vellakovil – Karur – Namakkal – Salem – Erode – Avinashi – and back to Coimbatore. Completing such a ride requires not only physical fitness but also mental strength, determination, and perseverance.

One of the Youngest Super Randonneurs in the Kongu Region

Rithik, a first-year Engineering student at Easwari Engineering College, has already achieved something many cyclists only dream about. He is one of the youngest cyclists in the Kongu region to earn the prestigious Super Randonneur title by successfully completing all four endurance rides:

• BRM 200 KM
• BRM 300 KM
• BRM 400 KM
• BRM 600 KM

Achieving the Super Randonneur title at such a young age is a testament to his dedication, discipline, and passion for cycling.

A Beautiful Example of Fatherhood

While Rithik is already capable of completing a demanding 600 KM BRM on his own, what made this ride truly special was the presence and support of his father, Senthil.

Both father and son completed the 400 KM BRM approximately 1.5 hours ahead of the official time limit, showcasing their strong preparation and endurance.

Throughout the ride, the chemistry between them was inspiring to watch. Senthil was not riding merely as a participant; he was riding as a father who wanted to be there for his son every step of the way.

One memorable moment came when Rithik’s bicycle suffered a puncture. The urgency, determination, and care shown by Senthil as he worked to fix the issue and get his son back on the road reflected the true spirit of fatherhood. It was a powerful reminder that endurance cycling is not only about distance and speed—it is also about support, encouragement, and standing beside the people we care about.

Thousands of Kilometres Behind This Achievement

Such accomplishments do not happen overnight.

Despite his young age, Rithik has already cycled an impressive 10,200 kilometres in a relatively short span of time. His father, a technology professional by occupation, has completed approximately 13,000 kilometres of cycling.

These numbers represent countless early mornings, long training rides, sacrifices, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

An Inspiration for Every Family

The story of Senthil and Rithik is much more than a cycling achievement. It is a story of dedication, family bonding, mentorship, and shared dreams.

At a time when many families struggle to find quality time together, this father–son duo has shown how a common passion can build lifelong memories and create extraordinary achievements.

Cookoo Cycling Club congratulates Senthil and Rithik on this wonderful milestone and wishes them many more successful rides in the years ahead.

May their journey inspire more parents and children to ride together, dream together, and achieve together. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️💙
