Day 1: Sunday, January 30



Today's route: Excited mood, happy to finally take off at 1.30pm from Mumbai Mahalakshmi. Finished at 6pm in goal destination Murbad, Maharashtra.

Weather: sunny with approx. 35 degrees

Cycled: 30km on a very busy highway with lorries passing very close to us and new cars nearly pushing us off the road during their highly risky overtaking manouvres.
