Day 01: 19th November 2013 Mumbai - Guhagar Starting our ride early in the morning, we will follow the NH17 route from Mumbai to Goa, with our hunger-panged stops at Panvel, Vadkel Naka, Mahad, Poladpur, Khed, and Chiplun before we finally reach Guhagar by night. The ride, as we have been experiencing the past two years of Rider Mania, is a beautiful and scenic ride along the coast. So before we even know, the first day will come to an end as the sea breeze sweeps us on our ride on the bullets!

Day 02: 20th November 2013 Guhagar - Malwan Crossing the spots of Tavsal, via a ferry ride to Jaigadh, and then riding via Ratnagiri, Mogare Junction, ferry ride through Amberli Bridge, crossing Devgadh, Dabhole, Wayagani and then we'll finally reach Malwan by the time the sun sets on our second day. With a number of ferry rides interjecting our bullet ride and a few confusing roads, the second day proves to be the most interesting and adventurous day of our trip!

Day 03: 21st November 2013 Malwan - Goa While Malwan is the hidden paradise, we will finally reach Goa on the third day of our trip. Hitting the Malvan Kasal Road, we'll be passing by Kudal-Vengurla and will finally have a smooth ride on the tarmac road of Edapally-Panvel or the Mumbai - Goa Highway. We will be passing by Sanquelim, Velguem, Surla, and Usgao, and after about 30 km we will halt around Dharbandora and Dabal villages for a quick bite before we finally reach our destination. We reach Goa in the day and eagerly await for Rider Mania and the 3-4 days of extreme action and bullet adventure it promises!
