pune-navi mumbai 160kms
Route from pune to mumbai:-
Pune > *avoid expressway* Lonavala *avoid expressway* > Khandala > take expressway > take khopoli bypass > go straight on to Panvel road > Avoid Panvel City road, Take JNPT bypass > chit chat with cops > Take Left to Panvel > Straigh to Vashi > Navi Mumbai
reach mumbai by 7pm
I have not done more than 300-400 kms in a day.So i am like a baby tourer.
Had a hard time convincing my folks and a harder time convincing my girl.They think a flight is more fun
Now i request all senior members who are reading this and have been on this route to give me some more tips.
If this ride goes on well,i might join another chennai xbhp member,floydanubhav for a try at the saddle sore+bun burner.
Any comments would be helpful.
