Mangaluru felicitates Deccan Cliffhanger ultra cycle race hero
The Hindu
The programme was organised by We R Cycling
Mangaluru Mayor Premanand Shetty said cyclist Joseph Pereira has made Mangaluru and Dakshina Kannada proud with his feat of riding 643 km in 33.45 hours at the Deccan Cliffhanger, India’s signature ultracycling race.
Speaking at a felicitation programme organised by We R Cycling in Mangaluru, Mr. Shetty said Mr. Pereira is a role model having achieved the feat at the age of 62. Having qualified for Race Across America (RAAM), ultra-distance road cycling across the U.S.A., he deserves government support to participate in the competition. The MCC, Mr. Shetty said, could help him as per the available provisions.
