A pristine\, untouched stretch of coastline that feels almost like a private retreat curated just for us. \nNo crowds. No chaos. Just open skies\, endless blue waters\, and the sound of waves waiting at the end of a beautiful 200 km ride. \nLocated approximately 200 kms from both Mumbai and Pune\, this coastal escape blends smooth highways\, scenic countryside stretches\, and that unforgettable moment when the ocean first appears on the horizon. \nAnd what makes this ride even more special? This is a new Musafirs location. A fresh chapter. A new memory on our map. \nWhat to Expect \nA Pristine\, almost private Beach \, it remains raw and peaceful — far from commercial beach noise. For this weekend\, it’s almost exclusively ours. \nBeach Instead of a Pool : We usually promise you a pool. This time\, we offer you the sea. Morning dips. Long shoreline walks. Sunset unwinding with salt in your hair and sand under your boots. \nComfortable Coastal Stay : Simple\, relaxed beachside accommodation that lets you disconnect from the city and reconnect with the ride. \nAuthentic Local Cuisine: Fresh coastal flavours\, homestyle meals \, and food that tastes even better after 200 kms on the saddle. \nThe Musafirs Experience : Shared laughter. Deep conversations. New friendships. Old bonds strengthened. A weekend that feels both adventurous and grounding. \nThis is the perfect pre-summer coastal break — intimate\, scenic\, and refreshing. Limited slots. Curated group. Maximum vibe. \nBlock the dates and your slot \, Register now..!!Come be part of the journey \, because with The Musafirs\, we ride for the ride. \nInterested?Call the crew or our lead to check if slots are available (Shona: 9821178718;Brijesh aka Birju : 9082443156) and just to have a chat; then register for the ride. \nThe BIG & BOLD Print \nWe are 201 rides young and operating the club since 15 years. Hence\, our ride SOPs are well-refined\, well-defined and we know our shit! \n✅ Inclusive Club – Your age\, gender\, caste\, religion\, profession\, or orientation doesn’t matter. What matters is the head and heart that rides the machine! \n We strictly follow the always-helmet-on-bikes\, no-drug and no-litter policy – if you can’t adhere\, please F.O. That’s exactly how serious we are when it comes to these. \nTHINGS TO KNOWJoin the Ride Whatsapp Group : After you complete the registration formalities and receive the automated email confirming your registration for this ride\, click the below link to join the ride Whatsapp group Ride 202 – WhatsApp group Link \nRiding with the Musafirs requires biking discipline and punctuality. The Musafirs is an evolved motorcycle club. Our riders demonstrate real control\, discipline\, and temperament by riding in the designated formations at the designated speed and performing responsibilities that make the ride function like clockwork. \nThe collective experience we’ve gained as a club over the past 15 years makes us what we are today – an ultra-disciplined bunch of bikers who watch each other’s back. And that’s what also us to orchestrate such long-distance rides. There are many “firsts” that the Musafirs introduced to the motorcycling arena in India – from hi-vis reflective vests\, to pickup trucks in tow even on smaller rides\, to colour-coded\, designated riding formations and full-tank single-kick distances … the list goes on. \nWe are 201 rides young and have been operating since 2010 — over 15 years of refined SOPs\, formations\, and discipline. \nOur Core Values: \n✅ Inclusive Club: Open to all ages\, genders\, professions & backgrounds✅ Strict Policies: Always wear helmets\, no drugs\, no littering✅ Discipline: Ride in formations\, maintain punctuality\, watch each other’s backFemale riders and pillions are most welcome — the Musafirs is not a “boys-only” club. \nOur crew includes women riders like Shona and several other Musafir sisters. \nWe are not the conventional money-minting tour operators\, biking is the only thing we do and that is what we are known for. We know our jobs pretty well\, especially when it comes to group riding. If you have never been with us on any ride\, go through our past rides or Facebook page and you will know. \nNo Drug/No Riding Under Alcohol Influence: \nWe do not support/encourage drugs and are firmly against it! If you cannot resist the urge to light up a joint for ride days\, you are better off riding with some other riding group. In addition\, if you plan to have a drink or two anywhere outside the accommodation DO NOT RIDE there. Instead\, be someone’s pillion or get a cab. \nInterested? Give us a buzz. We’ll be more than glad to answer all your queries. \nLet’s ride… Let’s Enjoy Responsibly… Let’s BE A MUSAFIR!
