Shraiyans Mittal, a long-distance rider has been recently certified for covering a total of 1610 kilometres in 24 hours, and 2415 kilometres in 36 hours on December 14, 2019. The rider has been awarded the certificates by the Long Distance Riders Association after complying with the guidelines.
Shraiyans started his journey of 1610 kilometres on his Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 from Pune, Maharashtra and continued south from Hubli, Karnataka. The final destination in South was Hosur in Tamil Nadu which he reached by passing through Chitradurga, Karnataka. He then made a U-Turn on his motorcycle from Hosur and rode towards the North through Davanagere and Belgaum, Karnataka and finally finished his ‘Long Distance Rider Full Throttle’ designation in Karad, Maharashtra.
Shraiyans is now a rider of the elite motorcycle riding group and has obtained the certification of completing 1610 kilometres in just 24 hours under the ‘Long Distance Riders’ guidelines. Though getting certified to cover 1610 kilometres in the shortest time possible was not enough, Shraiyans has managed to get another flag in his hat by covering a total of 2415 kilometres in just 36 hours.
Shraiyans started his next stretch from Kapurhol, Maharashtra and rode towards Orwad, Gujarat by passing through Thane, Maharashtra. He then made a U-Turn from the Gujarat location and completed his longest ride of 2415 kilometres at Thane, Maharashtra itself.
As a member of the LDR community, Shraiyans has been awarded the title “Bad to the Bone”, justifying his passion for riding on the road. The ride of 1610 kilometres awarded him with “Full Throttle” certification while the 2415 kilometres ride awarded Shraiyans with “King of the Road” certification, both inspiring him to conquer more distance in the shortest time possible in the near future.
He was able to cover his ride in just 36 hours, though heavy rains near Bangalore did make him lose 2 hours of crucial time. Since he rode his Interceptor 650 through 2415 kilometres, all the crucial information on the motorcycles as well as other technical guidelines were offered to him by Nikesh Sharma, a Royal Enfield employee.
