Do you think you can take on Pabe ghat? What's the hardest climb you've done - let me know in the comments! If you're interested in riding with me, or going on other group rides, consider joining this discord group: discord.gg/tGhaYVB
Thanks Sacchit! I guess you haven't done Sinhagad and Lavasa yet? Those are pretty much the "standards" for Pune - definitely harder than Jarsheshwar too, though I can't comment about going up twice :)
Great work done. Your videos are always informative in terms of technical details about route. Just love your edit. Overlays have used correctly. Keep it up 👍✌️
I have done this climb untill I guess the two cows shown in this vid but to my bad luck had a cramp and had to return from there. But the fun and grind is totally worth doing. This is the even tougher then sinhagad I guess. Every cyclist should try this once to check his/her limits...Cheers to life and health. Thanks for posting the vid enjoyed and relived it. Tip- Do carry plenty of water as you will not get anything in between.
Definitely harder than Sinhagad for me, and because of the gradient, the heavier you are, the worse it becomes! I have yet to ride up without stopping - the last 500-800 meters I had my phone constantly on, looking at how much I had left :D Glad you enjoyed the video, the next time you try this, you may want to try Kadve Khind too: th-cam.com/video/p9IV0kH_L1o/w-d-xo.html (or maybe just Kadve Khind!)
If you're looking for climbs, the easiest way is to just use the Strava segment explore feature with a climb category of 3. Most (but not all) of the climbs will have Strava segments already defined. Else, turn on the Terrain view in Google maps - you'll see the elevation lines (though there isn't necessarily a route up all mountains :P). The data for my graphs comes from someone who cycled up with a cycle-computer that records altitude as well (with internal barometer), defined as a Strava segment, and then analyzed using VeloViewer - see link in description.
Thank you! If it's the regular climb to Taljai, I covered it here: th-cam.com/video/6Ox2pm88Gc8/w-d-xo.html Do keep climbing, it's very rewarding and opens up a lot of new possibilities for cyclists.
I think you can do it on a roadie, there were no dirt trails, just terribly bad roads in spots - so possible, but won't be too comfortable. You should make sure you have a spare tube and puncture kit. Discord would be great, but feel free to ask more questions here, or message on facebook: facebook.com/theindiancyclist/
Haha Blesson! No dude, I actually saw the Diverge in person and it was a bit disappointing in the flesh; they also had a Diverge Carbon on display which looked awesome .. but twice the price. I hadn't planned on buying yet, but after seeing the Comp E5, the desire has gone. I'm feeling much happier now with the Sub Cross 20, and might take another look at gravel bikes when the new GRX groupsets make it down to affordable machines. What did *you* buy?
The Indian Cyclist same old Metrix 20 ! Love this hybrid machine with 35 tires! See that roubaix also..I guess it got future shock and is much lighter! Might be agile and handle lil tougher terrain,wth an advantage of weight! Got huge fan following also! Or we will continue with our hybrids as long as it tells us it can’t handle no more! Lol Happy cycling! Great narration and lot better graphical presentation👍🏻

Great coverage.. the hardest climb that I did till now was Jarsheshwar, going up twice. Coincidentally Shobhan was part of that climb!
sacchit parnaik 🤘

@@TheIndianCyclist Planning to do Lavasa over the weekend, looking forward to it.
Enjoy, and start early - that's one long ride, but definitely worth it!

Thank you for the kind words Pravin, always appreciate the support!
dude you are the powerdrift of cycling 💓
Rahul, that will have to go down as one of the best compliments I've ever received, thank you! Now, if only I too had 2M subscribers ...
Well done once again! Your videos actually make me consider taking up mountain biking! 👌
Thank you very much - please do [take up mountain biking]! I deeply regret "discovering" cycling so late, but, it's never too late to get started.
The Indian Cyclist So nice of you to respond! The only thing in my way is the lack of a large orange helmet and Aunty Bertha!

12.4 % Gradient 😮😮 i guess trekking would be quicker than pedalling
For someone like me, yes - it would have been :(
How did you calculate gradient of elevation? U have any app to suggest which helps to find out high elevation areas in maps?

The Indian Cyclist thanx bro👍🏻
Well shot 👍
There is a road which leads to Taljai tekdi. I will say that stretch gave me nightmares.

I recently did both Singhad and pabe, and I also found pabe to be more challenging.
Thanks Ankan, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!
Level of editing is too good... i am pretty sure u ll get a silver button very soon... be ready to make sme space on ur wall 👍🏽😇
Ramit, thank you very much, I really appreciate that :) तेरे मुंह में घी - शक्कर :D
😁
Good video brother...from nigdi,pcmc
Thank you Pranit, please share!
Can this be done on a road bike? Any other ways to connect except discord?

@@TheIndianCyclist thanks. Will connect over Facebook and would love to go on one of these rides.
beautiful views !! with equally pathetic roads :/
Yes, unfortunate, but worth it!
cool! followed you on strava.. i hope to join you guys soon when i am in pune
So didn’t yet get diverge:)?

I think it's going to be hybrids for quite some time, for me! Scott [Hybrids] FTW!
Am sure I fear bopdev more than pabe and even sinhagad
Bopdev has a formidable gradient to be sure and it's my favourite :) Why do you fear it though, and have you ridden Pabe / Sinhagad?
