A snippet of cycling from Goa to Mumbai, solo and self-supported in 2020.
This route is through a gorgeous part of the country. The Western Ghats along the Konkan coast provide amazing vistas, excellent cuisine, loads of short steep climbs and tiny undisturbed villages.
If you like this video, then stay tuned, as we will be bringing the full travelogue of the ride from the party state of Goa to the city that never sleep Mumbai…
…with some incredible experiences enroute…
This is the second part in the VLog series of cycling from Goa to Kanpur, covering 2300 km in 18 days, solo.
Part Deux sees the pedals turning from Malwan to Alibag, along the Konkan Coast. With all the fish curry, vada pav and mango orchards it offers. The route provides some exceptionally scenic vistas.
The road condition is for the most part good enough to fly on your road bike, if you are of the disposition!
The food is excellent, provided you enjoy seafood. The people are affable once they get comfortable with you. The riding is extraordinary, with lots of small steep climbs.
The heat and humidity can be oppressive for those who aren’t used to it. The stretch from Goa to Mumbai along the Konkan Coast is worth cycling at least once…Recommended!
In the third and final video, the journey continues from Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh on a cycle.
The previous video in this series ended in Alibag, while this picks up from there in a ferry ride to Mumbai before pedal power reemerged all the way to Kanpur.
The journey ended just a couple of days before the nationwide lockdown which was enforced due to the global pandemic.
