WSSM Impossible Ride - The Ultimate Challenge: Pune to MahabaleshwarThe WSSM Impossible Ride has become a legendary event, offering two distinct challenges for cyclists: an intense 210km competitive race and a demanding 167km non-race category. Each route pushes riders beyond their limits, offering an unforgettable experience from Pune to Mahabaleshwar.
210km Race Category: This elite race category is designed for seasoned cyclists who crave competition. Spanning 210 kilometers, participants tackle six of the region's toughest climbs: Sinhagad, Mariaai, Purandar, Mandhardevi, Pasarni, and Kelghar (Medha). With a daunting elevation gain of over 4200 meters, cyclists must navigate steep ascents and daring descents, testing both their physical endurance and strategic racing ability.
Every climb adds a unique challenge, from the sharp gradients of Sinhagad to the high-altitude grind of Kelghar. The 210km race isn't just about survival—it's about outpacing fierce rivals and seizing victory. Cyclists will push themselves to the limit, battling both terrain and competitors in the race to Mahabaleshwar.
167km Non-Race Category: For those looking to conquer the Impossible Ride at their own pace, the 167km non-race category offers a challenging yet accessible option. With an elevation gain of 3141 meters, this route includes climbs over Sinhagad, Mariaai, Purandar, Mandhardevi, and Pasarni. The course’s unique safety feature is that riders avoid highways entirely, making this category safer and more scenic for all participants.
The non-race category is an opportunity for cyclists to test their endurance and enjoy the journey, free from the pressures of competition, while still experiencing the awe-inspiring beauty and difficulty of the terrain.
Whether you’re racing for glory or taking on the challenge at your own speed, the WSSM Impossible Ride promises to be an unforgettable test of determination and skill.
