🎉 Congratulations Ram!

After a long break, our CTCian .ravisankar returned to the adventure scene — and what a comeback! He secured 1st place in the 30km Sprint Solo Category at the Nth Adventure Race in Wayanad. 🚴‍♂️🧭

The race wasn’t easy — from tea estates to forest trails, orientation challenges to cycling stretches, it tested every ounce of strength and strategy.

But as always, the CTC spirit and muscle memory built over years of fitness and outdoor adventures came alive. 💪🔥
It’s proof that what we learn and experience as a community stays within us — ready to shine when it matters most.

We’re super proud of you, Ram! Keep inspiring. 🙌
