It was an early Sunday
morning, but the roads in Rajaji Nagar were already occupied with hundreds of energetic
bikers! Yes, it was the beginning of Outride Hunger 2016, a biking event
organised by The Akshaya Patra Foundation in partnership with Wrangler on 7
February to create awareness about classroom hunger.
The Akshaya Patra event was commenced
with a flag off ceremony by the Additional Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru,
Dr. M.A. Saleem. Veteran biker Mr. R.
Chakravarthy and popular Kannada actor Krishna Ajai Rao were also present
during the occasion.
The 24 kilometre
bike ride event which started at the HK Hill kitchen of Akshaya Patra on Chord
Road passed through Malleshwaram, Race Course Road and Lalbagh Road and
concluded at Akshaya Patra’s Vasanthapura kitchen on Kanakapura Road.

Really nice initiative to spread awareness. Next year, if it is going to happen, I'll participate in the event.
