      We are happy to announce an association between Irregulars Ultra and CyclingMonks.com for their upcoming race, MangoTrans 2021 in March.

      Mango Trans: The race through the land of Alphonso!

      Konkan, the land of mangoes, coconut water (natural electrolytes) and people, alike.
      Once upon a time this region was the naval frontier of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s regime. Later, led by Admiral Kanoji Angre. One will come across a number of sea forts, which also served as the keepers of our nation. The sight of these citadels may make one realize the Greatness of the “Human-Spirit”!

      MangoTrans challenges you as you race across Konkan, from Alibag (Maharashtra) to Aronda (Goa) via coastal route, on a bicycle, self-supported. This route is also one of the most popular Cyclo-Touring routes of our country. With Sahyadri mountain range on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other, to play with. This route has an over-energetic child’s playground, like topography. This route rolls and rolls like nothing else!

      The close proximity to the sea brings multiple ferry crossings during the first half of the race and the the rolling terrain ensures more than 5000 m of elevation gain.

      The route also blesses one with mesmerizing vistas of endless ocean when one summits, one after another, small yet STEEP, hillocks. The really blessed ones may witness dolphins…

      Apart from the podium waiting for the fastest one. Racing across this route will give immense sense of achievement not only when you finish but also during the entire journey. After all, it’s about the “small joys in life”.

      What is MangoTrans?

      This self-supported adventure race tests your physical and mental toughness. It also gives you an opportunity to fortify your self belief. Starting from Alibaug, you race 500 km along the Konkan Coast crossing three designated checkpoints to reach the finish point at Aronda Kiranpani Bridge, Maharashtra Goa border within 120 hours.
