Dawn breaks over the Aravalis and the first pedal stroke sends dust motes spinning like tiny planets. Riders gather at Nahargarh Biological Park where scrub pines scent the air and a support vehicle hums quietly behind the group. The route falls away into a patchwork of mustard fields, colour-streaked havelis, and country lanes that thread villages still waking to the day.
