where the sky meets stillness — Ahsan Iqbal

One moment that really stayed with me was at Baboon Top after an overnight camp. Stepping out before sunrise, wearing my favorite ATGATT adventure pants, I stood there as a blanket of clouds spread below and the first ray of sun touched my face. Pure peace… just the mountains, my bike & that quiet moment. Experiences like these keep me coming back to mountains & adventure riding!

Gear pick

Product of the month

Spirit V2 — tough enough for northern roads, light enough for summer heat. Made with strong fabric, protective lining, and built-in armour at the knees and hips, it’s gear you can trust. Stretch panels and vents keep you comfortable, on and off the bike, for rides that demand both ease and confidence.

The Art of Packing Light

Rule of 3: Three tops, three bottoms, three layers — that’s all you need for mix-and-match outfits without extra weight.
Roll, don’t fold: Rolled clothes take up less space, stay neater, and make packing quicker.
Multi-use gear: Bring pieces that do more than one job, like a scarf-blanket or a convertible jacket that keeps you warm and dry.
