Last riding update of calendar year 2024
Did couple of rides after fixing the nasty puncture from Alibaug ride.
The puncture
And the culprit
I rode towards Lohgad fort and completed the Karla – Lohgad – Pawna – Pune circuit. Roads are good for the most part but the curves are very steep. One need to be cautious for other’s mistake as well since then you also will loose your momentum and might not get a stable footing during mid curve . Best of luck if someone is tailing you too close.
I saw an A6 struggling at one of the steep curve where the road was less than perfect while coming down towards Dudhiware Khind.
Waiting at Malvali crossing.

Last weekend started for Rajmachi hoping to conquer it till the base location. However, chickened out after completing around 4 km of trail. Total I suppose is around 10 kms.
I was alone and the fear of fall/what if finally overshadowed my courage. I tried this in Triple earlier but went back after hardly half or 1 kms.
Multistrada is capable and only because of it, I dared to complete 35 or 40 percent of trail. However, the fear of not able to find solid ground if needed during mid curve full of loose stone finally forced me to retreat.
I need to find time to enroll myself in light dirt/loose rock course to be more confident in handling such scenarios specially considering my humble frame of 168 cms.
Enroute Rajmachi
Multi aiming for twin peaks of Rajmachi namely, Shrivardhan and Manaranjan
Point where reality checked hard
Stopped at this machi while return, thinking of it as a consolation for lesser mortals like me..
And enjoyed the view of twin peaks from here.
Wind was absolutely chilly here which brought the 100 degree coolant temperature to below sixty under 10-15 mts.
Was even able to spot a train passing from Monkey hill cabin 
Happy New Calendar Year guys and always ride safe!
