This event started with a group chat. I was sitting in a Car Dealer and Nardev invited couple of guys in a group chat. I made an exit from the group chat as I didn't know the reason of that group chat and moreover I was very busy. He again pulled me in the group chat and again I made an exit. They continued with their chat, but I wasn't available there.

Four of us met at Vashi to plan the trip. We all had Mahabaleshwar in our minds. We started seeing Google Map,did calculations, like number of KMs we would cover every hour, the time to reach there, taking rest and coming back etc. It seemed difficult and then impossible for all of us. We started looking at other options like Shivnery hills, Kasara Ghats, Kashid Beach, Sinhagad Fort etc. So finally we concluded Sinhagad Fort to be our final destination. According to Google map Sinhagad Fort is around 25 KMs ahead from Pune. From Panvel it would 135 Kms so at the end of the event we would complete 270 plus KMs of cycling. I, Nandkishor, Nardev and Mandar are the four guys for this event. Three days of cycling, Sinhagad Fort Pune and returning to Panvel. It would be a great expedition and will certainly bring positive changes in our lives.

Introduction
Mandar is a professional cyclist and into a business of organizing adventurous activities like river rafting, mountaineering, rock climbing etc. on the range of Western Ghats of Maharashtra. We were expecting a lot from him as he is a professional cyclist. Now Guess what ?? He didn't turn up on the day and gave us a reason that he has some family function.Now it became more interesting.
Nandkishor a thin guy works in the same company I work for but he is in a different department. That is what I knew all about him
Nardev the plan maker and most important person here as he initiated everything.
None of us has ever done anything like this, we weren't aware of the route, we knew nothing. All we knew was that we had to do it.

NandKishor stayed in Sharique’s house at Vashi so that he would be able to reach Panvel on time. I was at Kharghar that night. I could not sleep that night because of the excitement which lied deep into my mind. Same thing happened to Nandkishor. Next morning at around 5 AM I got a call from Nardev and Nandkishor just to confirm that everything in all set and we are reaching Panvel station. I and Nandkishor reached to Panvel station at around 6 AM. This is where Nardev picked up us on his CBZ to his home. We reached Nardev’s home. We loved the way Nardev’s parents adored us. We had tea and few cookies before we left. Nardev’s dad shared his experiences of his young days like how he used to do cycling on his Avon bicycle on the hills of Himachal Pradesh. Nardev’s Mom put a Tilak on our Forehead and blessed us for our wellness and his Dad petted on our shoulders to motivate us. I could feel that they were bit worried but they were happy too and must be thinking that these kids are grown up now. We said good bye to them and taken our departure on bicycle.
