🇮🇳 About the Ride

This Independence Day, let’s honor the spirit of freedom by doing what we love most — riding together!

Our Independence Day Ride is not just a route — it’s a tribute to our martyrs and a celebration of the courage they stood for. It’s also the perfect day to break free from your own limits with a scenic, yet challenging 70+ km ride through the hills and valleys of Pune’s lush outskirts.

The route includes rolling terrain and three major climbs — Mutha Ghat (both directions), Pirangut Ghat, and smaller climbs like Manas. But don’t worry, we’ll go at a steady pace with multiple regroups, a tea stop, and a light breakfast. The ride culminates in a proud moment — singing the National Anthem at Temghar Dam with the tribe!
