Milind Soman to embark on solo multi-city cycle ride from Pune

As part of his solo cycling expedition, Soman will first cover an impressive distance of over 650km from Pune to Ahmedabad. This will be followed by an electric vehicle ride for 100km that will be undertaken by Sonam on a TVS iQube Electric to drive home the message for the need to promote environment-friendly mode of transport to contribute towards a healthy and eco-friendly environment. The event will conclude in Bengaluru on December 18.

The Green Ride 3.0 will traverse through multiple cities, covering diverse terrains to symbolize the collective effort needed for a healthier planet. The Lifelong Freeride Cycle will be Soman’s companion on this mission to inspire individuals to embrace an active lifestyle and contribute to environmental well-being.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the Green Ride initiative for the third consecutive year. This campaign resonates with my belief in the transformative power of fitness and its positive impact on both personal well-being and the environment. Let’s come together and make a difference by choosing an active lifestyle and contributing to a cleaner, greener world,” said Soman at the media conference on Monday.

While the fitness icon did a short warm-up ride from Pune to Saswad on Monday, he later told reporters that as part of the multi-city solo cycle ride, he would encourage families to participate in the “Ride with Family” initiative.

“Want to be fit for a lifetime? Then be mindful. Exercise daily, learn how to cope with stress and sleep well,” said Soman. He emphasized that the mind needs to be trained on how to deal with stress to ensure one remains calm and collected, before embarking on an important activity and also underscored the need for consistency.

Speaking on the occasion, Bharat Kalia, co-founder of Lifelong Online Retail Pvt. Ltd, said, “The Green Ride serves as a powerful testament to our dedication towards these goals, and we are proud to collaborate with Milind Soman in spreading this message across the nation.”
