Please refer to the itinerary in the event description.
• As per the itinerary the volunteers will wait for 20 more mins before they are released from their assigned duties and spots.
• Those participants who find it difficult to meet the timing cutoffs at every point, we would recommend that they should cut short their hike part and turnaround at 7.45am wherever they are so as to be able to be back at the breakfast area by 8.15am.
• Those who have booked an optional Jeep option must note that this Rs.70 amount that is collected per person is on 10 people traveling together basis. Jeep/jeeps (depending upon number of tickets) will be ready at 7.15am at the car parking area at the top. They will leave whenever seats get full. The last Jeep is instructed to collect the remaining people and leave at 7.45am. However this Jeep will wait max up to 8am (or more subject to approval from fellow participants) to collect as many participants as possible (those who have booked jeep option. Then the Jeep will leave with whatever people in it. Those who miss this jeep cut off time have to pay on their own to other jeeps, which will be readily available there, being Saturday. The organizers will not refund Rs. 70 for unused coupons due to missing of the time cutoff. Those who are not sure to meet the Jeep time cut off should start from RRB a little before scheduled flag off of 5am. Do this however only if you have powerful enough light and that too at your own risk.
• Those who want to do the entire bike and hike routine at a pace slower than the stipulated timings may do so but at their risk and on their own. They would still get limbusharabat and breakfast on producing the respective coupons, subject to the respective vendors working hours. These coupons are valid only for the event day up to 11am or vendors working hours whichever is lesser.
• To encourage the participants, we shall give participation medal even if they do not fully complete the entire bike and hike workout. The participation medal will be given at the breakfast area after hike down. However those who complete the bike and hike routine within the stipulated time will be proud finishers. Those who arrive very late that even volunteers have left, will also get the medal. All they have to do, is ask Mr. Jedhe of Gurudatta hotel to hand over the medals against producing the breakfast coupon.
• We do not have any provision for giving any certificate.
• Understand that the event goes through the roads in the city that may have vehicular traffic especially on the return journey.

5. OPTIONAL 100% WHEY PROTEIN FROM SIXPACK NUTRITION: Advance booking amount Rs. 100/- Balance to be paid in cash at the time of Goodies bag collection.

Terms and conditions:

Whey protein being very costly affair many people stay away from them. So it was our dream to offer this item at such a price which no one could have offered (not even Amazon) except for the manufacturer himself. And we are glad that we could get you a deal which is just hard to beat.

This offer is brought to you by Sixpack Nutrition, a Pune based company. https://www.sixpacknutrition.in

If you were waiting for a good deal to buy a whey protein, this is it.

The deal that we have got for all our registered participants is as under

1Kg @1650/- (MRP 2650, Amazon Rs 1994). Advance Rs. 100. Balance amount Rs. 1550.

2Kg @ 3150/- (MRP 5100, Amazon Rs. 3949). Advance Rs. 100. Balance amount Rs. 3050.

4Kg @ 5300/- (MRP 9900, Amazon Rs 6239). Advance Rs. 100. Balance amount is Rs. 5200.

Our suggestion is to go for a 4kg pack which is most cost effective.

You pay only Rs. 100 per order and the balance amount (as mentioned above) at the time of goodies bag collection (date to be declared soon but mostly we are trying to keep it on Sunday 22nd April 2018). Please bring the exact balance amount in CASH.

Terms and conditions:

1. Rs. 100/- that you pay under this optional purchase is taken as an advance towards the whey protein (1kg, 2kg, 4kg) that you choose.  The balance amount  (see above the balance amount for different weights) is to be paid (in cash only) at the time of goodies bag collection.
2. We are collecting just Rs. 100. We could have collected the entire amount right at the booking from the participants but we did not our participant to lose 4% gateway charges and GST on the total payment.
3. The advance payment of Rs. 100 is not refundable if the participant cancels his order or does not turn up to collect his ordered pack. We however would return his 100 Rs incase we are unable to provide him the ordered pack due to shortage or some technical issue beyond our control.
4. A registered participant has no restrictions on how many bottles or packs he wants to order. We have no objection as long as he is a registered participant. All orders however must match to the same registered participant.
5. It is beyond the scope of this event to offer you different weight options per single booking. Presently you can opt for multiple boxes/bottles but of one particular weight only. If you need to book different Kg boxes/bottles you have to book for each weight separately.
6. This offer is exclusively for our registered participants. This offer is only a one time offer ONLY for our participants and cannot be availed on their website or distributor or dealer.
7. Participant who has booked under this optional ticket, has to take his delivery of his chosen whey protein box/bottle on the day of goodies bag distribution itself.
8. Those who do not book this optional ticket, may be able to get it on spot (subject to availability) on the day of goodies bag distribution but it will be priced much higher. So book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
9. At the cost of repetition, let me reiterate that if were looking for steal deal for whey protein, this is it. It does not get any better.
10. If we find anyone who has booked the whey protein but has not registered for the event, he will neither get the delivery of whey protein nor will his advance amount be refunded.

6. JEEP TRANSPORTATION: Rs 70/- Terms and conditions:

• One could use this service to safeguard knees during hike down. Or if one is too tired to hike down or if one is trailing too much behind the schedule given in the event itinerary.
• Jeep transport is from Sinhagad top (car parking area) to Sinhagad base, Hotel Gurudatta at Aatkarwadi where breakfast will be served.

• It is on sharing basis with 10 people in one jeep only for those who have pre-booked this facility.
• This is not part of basic registration fee. It is an optional service provided by us at bare minimum cost to the participants.
• To avail the jeep transport you have to select ‘jeep transport’ option and pay Rs. 70/- at the time of online event registration.
• In case you have missed this during the initial online event registration or realize that you need that option, you can still book later by revisiting the event registration link and pay for that option.

• Each participant (who has opted and paid for the jeep transport) will be given a ‘Jeep transport coupon’ in his goodies bag. Make sure it is in the goodies bag while taking the delivery.
• Mr. Rahul is our Jeep contract person who owns a jeep bearing No. MH12-BA 4791. His telephone number is +91-9763705026. You can also identify his jeep from a sign board on the roof top which says "Sinhagadche Raje" (सिंहगडाचे राजे).
• Rahul, in addition to his jeep, has been instructed to hire additional jeep/s depending upon total bookings. Each jeep will ferry 10 passengers on sharing basis.
• As soon as the participant finishes his Limbusharabat drink, he has to rush to the car park area without wasting his time. Keep an eye on your watch.
• The participant has to hand over the Jeep Transport coupon to Mr. Rahul.
• Mr. Rahul will direct the participant to the concerned jeep.
• The jeep/s will be ready at the Sinhagad top (car parking area) at 7am.
• After 10 participants are accommodated, first jeep will leave for the base say at 7.15am.
• Assuming we have enough bookings, the second jeep will take another 10 passengers and is expected to leave at around 7.30am or as soon as the seats are full. So on and so forth.
• The last jeep will accommodate the remaining participants and leave at 7.45am. In case there are people yet to arrive, whether to wait or how long to wait, will be subject to approval from fellow participants who have made it in time. The last jeep will leave for the base of Sinhagad with whatever participants in it.
• Those who miss the 7.45am cut off will be lucky to get the jeep if the jeep decides to wait for remaining people. It would not be fair to those people who have made it in time, to wait for late comers after a certain time.
• In other words, if you cannot make to the parking area on or before 7.45am, you are probably going to miss your jeep transport.
• After 8am, none of the registered jeeps will be available. Of course other jeeps are going to be there since it is a Saturday.
• Participants who miss the registered jeep transport (for whatever reasons) and still want to come down by jeep, can still do so by using other jeeps available there but at their own cost.
• Participants deciding at last minute that they would need a jeep transport will not be accommodated in our pre-booked jeeps even if there is a room available. This decision has been taken because the other jeep operators had objected to this last year since this takes away their business. Hope you understand this issue.
• All jeep registrations, once paid, are NON-refundable.
• Our volunteers of course will be there to guide you and help you. They will be released from their assigned duty at 8.15am.
• Since mobile network is an issue at Sinhagad, we will not be calling any participant as to where he is or how long he is going to take to reach to the car parking area.
• Those getting late in the hike up section must take a decision at 7.45am whether to continue hiking up at the risk of missing the jeep timing cut off or to turn around and start hike down.
• If you think you may miss any of the above jeep cut-off timings, you may choose to start from RRB 15-20 minutes before the official flag off time of 5 a.m. However please do so only if you have very good front light and of course at your own risk.
• Should you require any clarification on this please feel free to communicate with me. We would love that all those who booked for jeep transport, are able to make it to the top in time and are ferried down to the base of Sinhagad.

7. DO'S AND DON'TS:-

DO’s:

• Do collect your goodies bag a day before. Bring all the necessary items with you that you may require.
• Do sign an indemnity form without which you will not be allowed to participate.
• DO make sure the previous night that you have everything ready that is required for the event.
• Do attach the participants’ identity badge/ bib to your cycling jersey or T-shirt (somewhere where it is easily visible by our volunteers). We cannot otherwise identify who is our participant or not. Volunteers will be wearing a similar badge/bib with ‘Volunteer’ written on it.
• Do keep a checklist of items that you require such as cycling suit, gloves, helmet, water bottle filled with water + electrolytes, lights charged, blinkers tested, tire pressures checked, sundry cash kept in a plastic pouch, refreshment  (and jeep if applicable) coupons, spare tube, puncture kit, tool kit etc.
• Do wake up at least 1 hour before reporting time. Time flies esp. in the morning and before you know you will be late at least by 20mins. You would not want to miss a mass flag off and an energetic atmosphere of 200 cyclists. In case you do miss the flag off, you have to try and catch up the guys who have gone ahead.
• Do eat something before coming. A banana or a chocolate bar would do. Coming on an empty stomach is not advisable.
• Do wear a Helmet, get good front light (cycle or headband) and rear lights for your cycles. If your light is not powerful you may cycle along with someone who has a better light. It is worth buying a good quality LED front light with Li-Ion rechargeable battery if you plan to do this activity on a regular basis. A fall or an accident (and a subsequent hospital visit) just because you did not see a something in time will probably cost you many times more a cost of good front light.
• Do reach the venue on time i.e. between 4.30am and 4:40am. If you are planning to come by car, ensure you arrive early enough so as to find appropriate parking space on Sinhagad road or on DP road near Vitthal mandir on the other side of Rajaram Bridge.
• Do remember to fill your cycle water bottle and bring it along, as there is no provision for en route water station either while going or while coming.
• When you drink water from the water bottle while riding, remember that it could be a bit tricky with so many people riding together. You could accidentally drop your bottle or could lose your balance or could get your cycle entangled with a fellow cyclist and both may fall. Do not make any unforced errors.
• Do make sure that you know the road to Sinhagad. It is presumed that everyone who has registered knows where is Donje phata, where is Sinhagad ghat road (Golewadi) and where is Sinhagad Paytha (base) at Aatkarwadi. For an uninformed participant, we would like to state that you have to leave the main tar road and go straight at Donje phata when you see the roadside board stating Panshet 19Km to the right / Sinagad 10Km straight / Donje 0Km. Our volunteers will be there to guide you towards Sinhagad. Golewadi is the area where Sinhagad ghat road goes up on our left. Aatkarwadi is a few km ahead which is at the base of Sinhagad and the road for our hike.
• For those who are from outside Pune, here is the Google map link: From Rajaram Bridge / chowk to Hotel Gurudatta, Aatkarwadi.
• Do study this well and know where is Donje phata where you have to leave the main road and go straight to Sinhagad.
• https://goo.gl/maps/Tpj76WADc632
• Do follow traffic rules while cycling. You cannot suddenly change your lane without giving a warning to your fellow cyclists. If you see a pothole at the last minute, before you dodge to avoid the same, make sure there is no one beside you and only then you change the lane or else you go through that pothole. Expect a lot of vehicular traffic on your way back home.
• Do keep one puncture kit between you and your friend. That way you can divide the weight during the hike leg and still be prepared to handle any puncture. Do keep some money handy. Giants backup vehicle will have spares on saleable basis and they will make every effort to get your cycle going. Understand that for 200+ participants it could be difficult for a single vehicle to attend to many breakdowns and it is advisable to be self sufficient should your cycle suffer some trouble.
• Keep some energy drink handy for an emergency.
• Do carry an energy bar, which you will possibly require after 18k cycling when you reach Sinhagad base.
• Do refill your water bottle after the cycle leg at the Gurudatta hotel. This would normally be sufficient for the hike up part. There is no provision of water station on hiking route. Of course you can always buy water from many vendors en route, should you fall short on water.
• There is nothing to get lost on the hiking route. Gurudatta Hotel to Limbusarabat spot via trek route (Hiking section – 2.4Km) https://goo.gl/maps/asNoLJvek6n
• Do carry your refreshment coupons. After hike up you will get one glass of limbusarabat against one coupon, (additional at your cost). Breakfast is after hike down (or jeep down for those who booked that transport) at the Gurudatta hotel. And do not worry; Jeeps will drop you at the Gurudatta hotel and not at the base of the ghat at Golewadi. You will get Tea + heavy yet limited breakfast. Menu is fixed. Drinking water that is served is bore-well water (which we have been drinking all these years) however packaged drinking water is available at your cost.
• If you do not want to wear your helmet during the hike leg, make sure that it is included in the cycle lock while parking. That way you won’t have to carry them in your bag! We recommend that do not keep valuables or expensive cycling accessories on the cycles. Remove them and put in your backpack while hiking up. We cannot take responsibility for any theft or loss of valuables although the parking area is well secure and entirely be managed by Giants people. There is no facility for the baggage counter however.
• Do keep a track of time and target to complete each leg of the event within the timing deadlines. Else you will have to ride back home in scorching sun unless you make an alternative arrangement to take you home with your cycle.
• Although this is not a race, do record your timings for each leg of cycling as well as hiking. We will be most happy to publish your timings if they are supported by proper proof such as strava, Endomondo, Mapmyride, Garmin or similar. Record you cycling time from RRB to Aatkarwadi (Gurudatta Hotel) in minutes. For hiking timing we have finalized the hike start point as the point where the cement road ends and actual hike begins. Start your stopwatch as you step on the hike up start and stop when you reach the endpoint of hike, which is when you reach the steps at the limbusarabat area. Remember, while climbing up Sinhagad, there is nothing like moving time. Therefore instead of using an app, which give you moving time, we recommend you to use just simple stopwatch. It is independent of GPS and gives most accurate time.
• Do ensure you finish the hike down leg and reach Gurudatta hotel by 8:10am. If you find it difficult to finish timing cut offs we recommend you cut short your hike and turnaround wherever you are at 7:45am to ensure you reach Gurudatta hotel in time for breakfast.
• Do cooperate with the volunteers’ en-route. Since we will have over 200 participants it will be chaos unless we listen to their instructions and give them support.
• Do help your fellow participant in case of any problems with his cycle or his health. Alert volunteers/ambulance in case of any emergencies.
• Do smile for the camera! There will be photographers covering both the cycle and trek route waiting to click your pics! One quick selfie on the hike up or down section is alright but do not spend lot of time in photos. Remember this is not a picnic and the time restrictions that we have laid down are bit tight.
• In case you want your friend or spouse to pick you up after the hike up, from the top car parking area, this is how that person should reach from Rajaram Chowk (RRB) to Sinhagad top car park via ghat road (24.1Km) https://goo.gl/maps/fV9QAPQZcNA2

DON’T’s:

• Do NOT race. The event is a time bound event but NOT a competition. Your only competition is with yourself. There are no prizes.
• Do NOT continue if you start feeling uncomfortable OR uneasy at any point.
• Do NOT park your cycles in haphazard manner at Gurudatta hotel. We are specially erecting a structure for an organized way system seen in duathlon or triathlon for quick and safe parking.
• All you have to do is lift the cycle from rear and hang by the seat.
• Do NOT spend too much time after reaching the top of trek route. We have given only 5 mins for the limbusarabat drink. The event does not end there. Also, there is very little space available on top so it is recommended to have your refreshment and leave immediately. Our volunteers will facilitate speedy process in this area.
• Do NOT take shortcuts while hiking up or down. If you get lost, we cannot trace you. Taking short cuts while hiking down is not advisable unless you are an expert hiker. One accidental fall will spoil your mood and our mood. Besides there is no medical support en-route hike section. So please do not fall. Pay attention to where you are laying your feet or else it is too easy to fall on face.

5. OPTIONAL 100% WHEY PROTEIN FROM SIXPACK NUTRITION: Advance booking amount Rs. 100/- Balance to be paid in cash at the time of Goodies bag collection.

Terms and conditions:

Whey protein being very costly affair many people stay away from them. So it was our dream to offer this item at such a price which no one could have offered (not even Amazon) except for the manufacturer himself. And we are glad that we could get you a deal which is just hard to beat.

This offer is brought to you by Sixpack Nutrition, a Pune based company. https://www.sixpacknutrition.in

If you were waiting for a good deal to buy a whey protein, this is it.

The deal that we have got for all our registered participants is as under

1Kg @1650/- (MRP 2650, Amazon Rs 1994). Advance Rs. 100. Balance amount Rs. 1550.

2Kg @ 3150/- (MRP 5100, Amazon Rs. 3949). Advance Rs. 100. Balance amount Rs. 3050.

4Kg @ 5300/- (MRP 9900, Amazon Rs 6239). Advance Rs. 100. Balance amount is Rs. 5200.

Our suggestion is to go for a 4kg pack which is most cost effective.

You pay only Rs. 100 per order and the balance amount (as mentioned above) at the time of goodies bag collection (date to be declared soon but mostly we are trying to keep it on Sunday 22nd April 2018). Please bring the exact balance amount in CASH.

Terms and conditions:

1. Rs. 100/- that you pay under this optional purchase is taken as an advance towards the whey protein (1kg, 2kg, 4kg) that you choose.  The balance amount  (see above the balance amount for different weights) is to be paid (in cash only) at the time of goodies bag collection.
2. We are collecting just Rs. 100. We could have collected the entire amount right at the booking from the participants but we did not our participant to lose 4% gateway charges and GST on the total payment.
3. The advance payment of Rs. 100 is not refundable if the participant cancels his order or does not turn up to collect his ordered pack. We however would return his 100 Rs incase we are unable to provide him the ordered pack due to shortage or some technical issue beyond our control.
4. A registered participant has no restrictions on how many bottles or packs he wants to order. We have no objection as long as he is a registered participant. All orders however must match to the same registered participant.
5. It is beyond the scope of this event to offer you different weight options per single booking. Presently you can opt for multiple boxes/bottles but of one particular weight only. If you need to book different Kg boxes/bottles you have to book for each weight separately.
6. This offer is exclusively for our registered participants. This offer is only a one time offer ONLY for our participants and cannot be availed on their website or distributor or dealer.
7. Participant who has booked under this optional ticket, has to take his delivery of his chosen whey protein box/bottle on the day of goodies bag distribution itself.
8. Those who do not book this optional ticket, may be able to get it on spot (subject to availability) on the day of goodies bag distribution but it will be priced much higher. So book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
9. At the cost of repetition, let me reiterate that if were looking for steal deal for whey protein, this is it. It does not get any better.
10. If we find anyone who has booked the whey protein but has not registered for the event, he will neither get the delivery of whey protein nor will his advance amount be refunded.
11. Only one flavour Choco delight will be made available. We are not keeping any margin while selling this product and hence giving choices of flavours is out of scope for the current event.
12. We are trying to get some discount coupons from Sixpack Nutrition for our participants which can be availed at their website. Those who miss out on the above offer shall be able to help themselves with the discount coupons.
13. We are very sure that even your regular gym supplier of whey protein will not be able to match the offer that we have got from Sixpack nutrition.

6. JEEP TRANSPORTATION: Rs 70/- Terms and conditions:

• One could use this service to safeguard knees during hike down. Or if one is too tired to hike down or if one is trailing too much behind the schedule given in the event itinerary.
• Jeep transport is from Sinhagad top (car parking area) to Sinhagad base, Hotel Gurudatta at Aatkarwadi where breakfast will be served.

• It is on sharing basis with 10 people in one jeep only for those who have pre-booked this facility.
• This is not part of basic registration fee. It is an optional service provided by us at bare minimum cost to the participants.
• To avail the jeep transport you have to select ‘jeep transport’ option and pay Rs. 70/- at the time of online event registration.
• In case you have missed this during the initial online event registration or realize that you need that option, you can still book later by revisiting the event registration link and pay for that option.

• Each participant (who has opted and paid for the jeep transport) will be given a ‘Jeep transport coupon’ in his goodies bag. Make sure it is in the goodies bag while taking the delivery.
• Mr. Rahul is our Jeep contract person who owns a jeep bearing No. MH12-BA 4791. His telephone number is +91-9763705026. You can also identify his jeep from a sign board on the roof top which says "Sinhagadche Raje" (सिंहगडाचे राजे).
• Rahul, in addition to his jeep, has been instructed to hire additional jeep/s depending upon total bookings. Each jeep will ferry 10 passengers on sharing basis.
• As soon as the participant finishes his Limbusharabat drink, he has to rush to the car park area without wasting his time. Keep an eye on your watch.
• The participant has to hand over the Jeep Transport coupon to Mr. Rahul.
• Mr. Rahul will direct the participant to the concerned jeep.
• The jeep/s will be ready at the Sinhagad top (car parking area) at 7am.
• After 10 participants are accommodated, first jeep will leave for the base say at 7.15am.
• Assuming we have enough bookings, the second jeep will take another 10 passengers and is expected to leave at around 7.30am or as soon as the seats are full. So on and so forth.
• The last jeep will accommodate the remaining participants and leave at 7.45am. In case there are people yet to arrive, whether to wait or how long to wait, will be subject to approval from fellow participants who have made it in time. The last jeep will leave for the base of Sinhagad with whatever participants in it.
• Those who miss the 7.45am cut off will be lucky to get the jeep if the jeep decides to wait for remaining people. It would not be fair to those people who have made it in time, to wait for late comers after a certain time.
• In other words, if you cannot make to the parking area on or before 7.45am, you are probably going to miss your jeep transport.
• After 8am, none of the registered jeeps will be available. Of course other jeeps are going to be there since it is a Saturday.
• Participants who miss the registered jeep transport (for whatever reasons) and still want to come down by jeep, can still do so by using other jeeps available there but at their own cost.
• Participants deciding at last minute that they would need a jeep transport will not be accommodated in our pre-booked jeeps even if there is a room available. This decision has been taken because the other jeep operators had objected to this last year since this takes away their business. Hope you understand this issue.
• All jeep registrations, once paid, are NON-refundable.
• Our volunteers of course will be there to guide you and help you. They will be released from their assigned duty at 8.15am.
• Since mobile network is an issue at Sinhagad, we will not be calling any participant as to where he is or how long he is going to take to reach to the car parking area.
• Those getting late in the hike up section must take a decision at 7.45am whether to continue hiking up at the risk of missing the jeep timing cut off or to turn around and start hike down.
• If you think you may miss any of the above jeep cut-off timings, you may choose to start from RRB 15-20 minutes before the official flag off time of 5 a.m. However please do so only if you have very good front light and of course at your own risk.
• Should you require any clarification on this please feel free to communicate with me. We would love that all those who booked for jeep transport, are able to make it to the top in time and are ferried down to the base of Sinhagad.

7. DO'S AND DON'TS:-

DO’s:

• Do collect your goodies bag a day before. Bring all the necessary items with you that you may require.
• Do sign an indemnity form without which you will not be allowed to participate.
• DO make sure the previous night that you have everything ready that is required for the event.
• Do attach the participants’ identity badge/ bib to your cycling jersey or T-shirt (somewhere where it is easily visible by our volunteers). We cannot otherwise identify who is our participant or not. Volunteers will be wearing a similar badge/bib with ‘Volunteer’ written on it.
• Do keep a checklist of items that you require such as cycling suit, gloves, helmet, water bottle filled with water + electrolytes, lights charged, blinkers tested, tire pressures checked, sundry cash kept in a plastic pouch, refreshment  (and jeep if applicable) coupons, spare tube, puncture kit, tool kit etc.
• Do wake up at least 1 hour before reporting time. Time flies esp. in the morning and before you know you will be late at least by 20mins. You would not want to miss a mass flag off and an energetic atmosphere of 200 cyclists. In case you do miss the flag off, you have to try and catch up the guys who have gone ahead.
• Do eat something before coming. A banana or a chocolate bar would do. Coming on an empty stomach is not advisable.
• Do wear a Helmet, get good front light (cycle or headband) and rear lights for your cycles. If your light is not powerful you may cycle along with someone who has a better light. It is worth buying a good quality LED front light with Li-Ion rechargeable battery if you plan to do this activity on a regular basis. A fall or an accident (and a subsequent hospital visit) just because you did not see a something in time will probably cost you many times more a cost of good front light.
• Do reach the venue on time i.e. between 4.30am and 4:40am. If you are planning to come by car, ensure you arrive early enough so as to find appropriate parking space on Sinhagad road or on DP road near Vitthal mandir on the other side of Rajaram Bridge.
• Do remember to fill your cycle water bottle and bring it along, as there is no provision for en route water station either while going or while coming.
• When you drink water from the water bottle while riding, remember that it could be a bit tricky with so many people riding together. You could accidentally drop your bottle or could lose your balance or could get your cycle entangled with a fellow cyclist and both may fall. Do not make any unforced errors.
• Do make sure that you know the road to Sinhagad. It is presumed that everyone who has registered knows where is Donje phata, where is Sinhagad ghat road (Golewadi) and where is Sinhagad Paytha (base) at Aatkarwadi. For an uninformed participant, we would like to state that you have to leave the main tar road and go straight at Donje phata when you see the roadside board stating Panshet 19Km to the right / Sinagad 10Km straight / Donje 0Km. Our volunteers will be there to guide you towards Sinhagad. Golewadi is the area where Sinhagad ghat road goes up on our left. Aatkarwadi is a few km ahead which is at the base of Sinhagad and the road for our hike.
• For those who are from outside Pune, here is the Google map link: From Rajaram Bridge / chowk to Hotel Gurudatta, Aatkarwadi.
• Do study this well and know where is Donje phata where you have to leave the main road and go straight to Sinhagad.
• https://goo.gl/maps/Tpj76WADc632
• Do follow traffic rules while cycling. You cannot suddenly change your lane without giving a warning to your fellow cyclists. If you see a pothole at the last minute, before you dodge to avoid the same, make sure there is no one beside you and only then you change the lane or else you go through that pothole. Expect a lot of vehicular traffic on your way back home.
• Do keep one puncture kit between you and your friend. That way you can divide the weight during the hike leg and still be prepared to handle any puncture. Do keep some money handy. Giants backup vehicle will have spares on saleable basis and they will make every effort to get your cycle going. Understand that for 200+ participants it could be difficult for a single vehicle to attend to many breakdowns and it is advisable to be self sufficient should your cycle suffer some trouble.
• Keep some energy drink handy for an emergency.
• Do carry an energy bar, which you will possibly require after 18k cycling when you reach Sinhagad base.
• Do refill your water bottle after the cycle leg at the Gurudatta hotel. This would normally be sufficient for the hike up part. There is no provision of water station on hiking route. Of course you can always buy water from many vendors en route, should you fall short on water.
• There is nothing to get lost on the hiking route. Gurudatta Hotel to Limbusarabat spot via trek route (Hiking section – 2.4Km) https://goo.gl/maps/asNoLJvek6n
• Do carry your refreshment coupons. After hike up you will get one glass of limbusarabat against one coupon, (additional at your cost). Breakfast is after hike down (or jeep down for those who booked that transport) at the Gurudatta hotel. And do not worry; Jeeps will drop you at the Gurudatta hotel and not at the base of the ghat at Golewadi. You will get Tea + heavy yet limited breakfast. Menu is fixed. Drinking water that is served is bore-well water (which we have been drinking all these years) however packaged drinking water is available at your cost.
• If you do not want to wear your helmet during the hike leg, make sure that it is included in the cycle lock while parking. That way you won’t have to carry them in your bag! We recommend that do not keep valuables or expensive cycling accessories on the cycles. Remove them and put in your backpack while hiking up. We cannot take responsibility for any theft or loss of valuables although the parking area is well secure and entirely be managed by Giants people. There is no facility for the baggage counter however.
• Do keep a track of time and target to complete each leg of the event within the timing deadlines. Else you will have to ride back home in scorching sun unless you make an alternative arrangement to take you home with your cycle.
• Although this is not a race, do record your timings for each leg of cycling as well as hiking. We will be most happy to publish your timings if they are supported by proper proof such as strava, Endomondo, Mapmyride, Garmin or similar. Record you cycling time from RRB to Aatkarwadi (Gurudatta Hotel) in minutes. For hiking timing we have finalized the hike start point as the point where the cement road ends and actual hike begins. Start your stopwatch as you step on the hike up start and stop when you reach the endpoint of hike, which is when you reach the steps at the limbusarabat area. Remember, while climbing up Sinhagad, there is nothing like moving time. Therefore instead of using an app, which give you moving time, we recommend you to use just simple stopwatch. It is independent of GPS and gives most accurate time.
• Do ensure you finish the hike down leg and reach Gurudatta hotel by 8:10am. If you find it difficult to finish timing cut offs we recommend you cut short your hike and turnaround wherever you are at 7:45am to ensure you reach Gurudatta hotel in time for breakfast.
• Do cooperate with the volunteers’ en-route. Since we will have over 200 participants it will be chaos unless we listen to their instructions and give them support.
• Do help your fellow participant in case of any problems with his cycle or his health. Alert volunteers/ambulance in case of any emergencies.
• Do smile for the camera! There will be photographers covering both the cycle and trek route waiting to click your pics! One quick selfie on the hike up or down section is alright but do not spend lot of time in photos. Remember this is not a picnic and the time restrictions that we have laid down are bit tight.
• In case you want your friend or spouse to pick you up after the hike up, from the top car parking area, this is how that person should reach from Rajaram Chowk (RRB) to Sinhagad top car park via ghat road (24.1Km) https://goo.gl/maps/fV9QAPQZcNA2

DON’T’s:

• Do NOT race. The event is a time bound event but NOT a competition. Your only competition is with yourself. There are no prizes.
• Do NOT continue if you start feeling uncomfortable OR uneasy at any point.
• Do NOT park your cycles in haphazard manner at Gurudatta hotel. We are specially erecting a structure for an organized way system seen in duathlon or triathlon for quick and safe parking.
• All you have to do is lift the cycle from rear and hang by the seat.
• Do NOT spend too much time after reaching the top of trek route. We have given only 5 mins for the limbusarabat drink. The event does not end there. Also, there is very little space available on top so it is recommended to have your refreshment and leave immediately. Our volunteers will facilitate speedy process in this area.
• Do NOT take shortcuts while hiking up or down. If you get lost, we cannot trace you. Taking short cuts while hiking down is not advisable unless you are an expert hiker. One accidental fall will spoil your mood and our mood. Besides there is no medical support en-route hike section. So please do not fall. Pay attention to where you are laying your feet or else it is too easy to fall on face.
• Do NOT depend on the backup vehicle to support you throughout the leg. Backup will be provided only for cycle failure/breakdown. Please carry your own puncture kits and spare tube.
• Do not forget to refill your water bottles at Gurudatta hotel before you start your return journey.
• Participants will be participating in this event at their own responsibility. Organizers will not be held responsible for any mishap, or damage, injury to them or the cycles. Before you join the event you will have to sign up an indemnity form the details of which will be given later.

• The support vehicle supplied by Giant Starkenn will have a technician with some commonly required spare parts (on saleable basis). He will do minor repairs such as chain malfunction or puncture and get the cycle going. If things cannot be managed, then the cycle will have to be kept in the back up vehicle. The vehicle can house up to 5 cycles with their riders. In case anyone wants to use the back up vehicle facility simply because he is tired to ride back, may do so subject to room available and in the event a genuine guy requires to use the vehicle then the tired guy with good cycle has to get down and ride back home.
