The 17 km stretch from Lonavala till
rajmachi and back (same 17 kms back), in these days has many water streams,
puddles, ups and downs, slippery roads, etc which makes our ride fun and much
more adventurous than other bike trek rides.
You will get a better idea about the
route, and also know what adventure was faced by our group on a similar trek
last year, after going through this blog:
