Another offbeat Sunday ride! It was a total 52km ride including 6-7km off road. Charkop,Kandivali - Uttan beach - off road - Gorai creek - Charkop. Uttan is a coastal town just north of Mumbai in Thane district. The area has a significant East Indian Catholic population. Next to the beach there is famous Our Lady Of Velankani Shrine.It is an important aspect in the life of native Uttankars(people staying in uttan). On my way back met some cyclist friends who showed the new off road biking route. We were lucky enough to get very sweet Karvanda (fruit). When we were tired enough after riding in mud, on one request we got to drink cold water from deep well. The off road meets Uttan's famous destination Keshavsrushti. From there, another 7km ride to Gorai creek. and we loaded our bike on boat to reach another side of creek. After reaching home 2 glass of Nimbu Sharbat and Chicken-Bhakri in lunch make your Sunday ride worthy.
