Two principals reached Shivneri Fort by bicycle within 30 hours

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:

On the occasion of Shiv Jayanti, principal of P.U. Jain Secondary School, Vijay S. Patodi and principal of Kalavati Chavan Primary School, Anil Deshmukh completed a 325 km bicycle journey from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to Shivneri Fort in just 30 hours.

While cycling through Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Shirdi, Junnar and Pune, they had to face severe cold, intense heat, and difficult road conditions. They also navigated challenging routes, including the steep ascents and descents of the Chandnapuri Ghat.

This marks the fifth time that Vijay S. Patodi has undertaken the bicycle journey from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to Shivneri Fort. Through this cycling expedition, he also spread awareness about staying away from addictions. Notably, Patodi uses a bicycle in his daily life as well.
