An early 5am start, cold air cutting through the ghats. The kind of ride where you stop halfway not because you’re tired, but because you have to — the view demands it. Reached the fort at sunrise, the valley still wrapped in mist below. Stayed up there for an hour doing nothing in particular. Some rides are about the destination. This one was about the 6am silence at 1200 metres.

Marine Drive at 2am
Drove down for a friend’s thing, ended up on Marine Drive after midnight. The city doesn’t really sleep — it just changes its tone. Sat on the sea wall for an hour doing nothing in particular. The kind of night that doesn’t have a plan and doesn’t need one.
Lavasa Hill Run
Left before sunrise to beat the traffic on the expressway. The Lavasa road is one of those stretches where every corner opens into something better than the last. Cold enough at the top to see your breath. Stopped at a dhaba on the way back, chai and silence, the best kind of breakfast.
