Back in 1996 I rode a Linear recumbent from Bombay as it was then called down the West coast of India. After a few detours inland into the mountains, I got to the South Tip of India, back to Trivandrum and Bangalore and then train to Bombay. About 3100km.
I have just booked flights for January 2024 to take me any my (conventional) bike to Mumbai. I am taking a 1990s steel framed Giant mountain bike that I have owned from new. I plan to leave it in India as my Sherpa has rather replaced it here, and hopefully I will find it a good home.
The Mumbai - Goa route has become more popular over recent years. In 1996 I rode about 1100km on what cycle tour operators now say is a 600km route….and my diary does mention a few about turns. As usual with India, paper maps are non-existant in a decent scale, so I just wondered if anyone here had cycled that route in recent times?
