The ride begins on a cool morning road where mist threads between rows of coffee shrubs and the first sun pries light from the western ghats. Cyclists fall into a steady rhythm—pedal, breathe, listen—as winding, tree-canopied lanes open onto broad plantation terraces and a calm reservoir that favours late-afternoon reflections.
