"Riding with TVS every time adds different experiences. I always wanted to see a different trail in the mountains every time something different that would interest my visualisations, so as AOG always keeps on adding new route plans. Last year AOG ride with TVS was added with Offroad trails and Offroad training session with Aishwarya Pissay and I must say the experience was totally worth it! Every point in the itinerary was covered with ample time to relax and enjoy with fellow AOG riders."
