We are excited to kick off the first episode of Hit The Road: Explorer Edition and in the premiere episode, host Rohan Thakar is chatting with Mumbai-based cyclist Chetan Shah.
He is the founder of one of the world's largest Facebook groups for cycling - Mumbai Cycling Enthusiasts!

He has been cycling for more than 7 years now and has not taken a break, even for a single day!  He has bike packed extensively in Maharashtra & toured North India. Internationally, he has explored Canada and Switzerland!


In this episode Explorer Edition, Chetan talks about how he got into bike packing, some mistakes made on the way, and what should you keep in mind before starting your tour, how to travel abroad with your bike.
While sharing insights about bikepacking, Chetan shares his experience of touring Switzerland, the places he visited, and the preparation required for abroad travel.

 

Some points to keep in mind for touring Switzerland

1) Clothing: Fleece jackets, full-length winter gloves, rain gear, 3-4 sets of biking clothes, 1 extra pair of clothing
2) Training: The terrain is hilly, with long elevation gains and steep descents. Hill Training is a must. Also, One needs to train with a fully loaded bike with panniers in order to simulated the riding conditions.
3) For long ranges one can be isolated from any human habitation, food packets, battery packs, extra tube, spares, repair kit are highly recommended.
