I feel like i missed some great fun of cycling with you. <br /><br />Well I made it happen in March14. Yes I agree with you when you say the road you mentioned has more gradient. Even I got my Tyre punctured at the same spot 5 times. It was frustrating. Yeah, but some how I made it :) :)<br /><br />Anyways, Next time we can sync up & plan a trip. The Aug plan you talked about seems difficult for me to manage but I will let you know if I can join.<br /><br />Thanks again for your support.<br /><br />Cheers !!<br />KedarKedar Deshpandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374486514671779841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-77740899139319346292014-03-12T20:29:01.021+05:302014-03-12T20:29:01.021+05:30Dear kedar

Sorry to barge in Manda...Hello Kedar & Mandar,<br /><br />Sorry to barge in Mandar's blog, but I saw your comment before Mandar and would like to give you my opinion and also would like to present you a request.<br /><br />I am in Kolhapur, I tried KOP_GOA last year and would have to abandon at Amboli (after abt 129 Kms fm KOP) due to 5 punctures in my partner's bike. So I have to carry on with backup car as my son has to attend a Scuba diving camp in Goa the very next day. <br /><br />Our route was KOP-Gargoti-Uttur-Ajra-Amboli-Sawantwadi. I believe Mandar went straight to Gadhinglaj from Highway and then to Ajra-Amboli-Sawantwadi route. My route had too much gradient. You can map the actual gradient on www.bikemap.net . I believe Mandar's route had less gradient than my route.<br /><br />Presently I am planning Delhi-Manali-Leh-Srinagar trip in Aug 2014 and hence I have bought a new gear like Tent/sleeping bag/spares etc. But no proper carrying/fixing arrangement as yet. May be in next week or so I should be able to make some contraption to house and fix on the bike. Overall weight is including tent/sleeping bag/clothes is going to be about 8 Kgs.<br /><br />So, if you don't mind I would like to join you for Goa trip from <br />Kolhapur which is on your way. I would also be able to check my tent and other arrangements. I don't mind if you have sleep-over in my place if you are coming alone and going to be brave enough to complete 200 Kms on first day like Mandar.<br /><br />Thanks in Advance<br />Prashant"G"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05954757120792701723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-33992164126782324632014-02-16T22:52:05.662+05:302014-02-16T22:52:05.662+05:30This comment has been removed by the author."G"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05954757120792701723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-13887794520993586792014-02-16T22:46:50.785+05:302014-02-16T22:46:50.785+05:30This comment has been removed by the author."G"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05954757120792701723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-69650286063212390482014-02-12T09:11:26.159+05:302014-02-12T09:11:26.159+05:30Hi Mandar,

It is because I always like to go alone !! I have plan to make it happen from 24 Feb'14 to 27Feb'14. For last month I am practicing for it by cycling around 100-140 KM on weekends. <br /><br />You are more fit than me so was able to cycle 200 KM in first day. I am planing to run around 130 KM a day. So can you brief me about the road, I mean which patch is easy & which is tough. That will help me in preparing my mind beforehand.<br /><br />I never do any preparation. I like it to be that way, Spontaneous !! But as it is a long journey , i think I should. It will be great if you can guide me about what are the least things i should carry& consider before starting. <br /><br />Thank you in advance!! Waiting for your reply :)<br /><br />I wish you all the best for your future cycling expeditions !!Kedar Deshpandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374486514671779841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-45853784179024721022013-02-07T16:32:02.763+05:302013-02-07T16:32:02.763+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-14884567802262581702012-12-02T16:31:10.739+05:302012-12-02T16:31:10.739+05:30Dear dongre

I also carry 5600 mAh external battery for emergency. Additionally dynamo also directly connected to a LED headlight/Taillight combo.<br /><br />I plan to go long distances hence I chose this arrangement.<br /><br />But good to have MJ808 if bike does't have a hub dynamo.<br /><br />I have a lot of opposition from family to go all alone so my trips have been curtailed down to 1-2 days.<br /><br />Any good place you can know where I can buy 700x38c tires in Pune ? A friend of mine has bought Metro 700x35c for paltry Rs 200 from Sangli shop "Bharat Tires", and he seems quite happy with Rs 200 tire. I have asked them to get 700x38c, but if they cannot then I would go with 700x35c rather than waiting for 700x38's.<br /><br />Do let me know if you have a good source for tires. <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-27404836026866933892012-10-06T19:53:41.810+05:302012-10-06T19:53:41.810+05:30Dear Dongre

It is going to help me plan my own.<br /><br />One question, I have seen in one of the photographs that there looks like a charger DC cable popping out near handle bar, what is that ? Do you have a hub dynamo and a regulator/charger ? What kind of bikes you were riding ? Were they Racers/Hybrids/MTB's ? Just a info on composition would help me and each riders opinion on what kind of bike would they prefer on long rides.<br /><br />Regards,<br />== Dongre<br />PS:- including a link to what I am planning, Please respond if you have any suggestions.<br />http://cyclists.in/group/MultiDayTours/forum/topics/kolhapur-goa-kolhapur-1-2-dyas-travel-1-2-days-rest-1-2-days-for?xg_source=activity<br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-8927961271260290212012-10-03T12:45:22.293+05:302012-10-03T12:45:22.293+05:30Excellent write up Mandar...heartiest congratulati...Excellent write up Mandar...heartiest congratulations to you and the entire team...:)<br />PRASHANT TIDKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963425965681972204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-65490571894435687482012-10-03T12:41:23.344+05:302012-10-03T12:41:23.344+05:30A really nice story.
