Thanks mate
Some will power is surely needed to continue
Appreciate you liked it

Yes it can get taxing sometimes, but the psychological rewards are immense besides one gets to enjoy the terrain slowly, inch by inch, soak the nature & sometimes the wrath of weather too

Thanks for reading

Amazing! What an achievement!

I frequently do Diveagar-Pune and Alibag-Pune on motorcycle or car and that itself is tests my patience, I am not even going to talk about the physical endurance required when cycling on this route which is full of uphill climbs and descents.

Yes physical fitness is of utmost importance for endurance rides too many uphill sections & it was scorching hot after POSCO plant.

Thanks & regards

Thanks dear

Actually I ride my own bike and maintain it myself most of the time like many fellow cyclists, so know the general condition of it and changed the tyres & tubes beforehand. Thank god, no breakdowns this time, but they happen sometimes even on short rides near to home

I didn’t realise road trips could be done so well on a MTB till now.

I have gone through your threads. MTB is good on all surfaces, maybe slower than road bikes, but surprise bad sections or occasional getting down to road shoulders is less scary. Not to forget better rear view mirror positioning too.
