India Bike Week 2024 strengthens its partnership with Gulf and plans to hold these rides in 20+ cities
Gulf Oil Lubricants India Limited, a pioneer in the lubricants industry, proudly announces the second annual ‘Chai-Pakoda’ Ride in Pune as part of its continued partnership with India Bike Week (IBW) 2024.
Following the overwhelming success of last year, Gulf Oil remains the main sponsor for IBW, Asia’s premier motorcycling festival, for the second consecutive year. This year’s ride once again sets the stage for a thrilling celebration of motorcycling camaraderie, adventure, and community spirit.
The inaugural ride of the 2024 edition saw an impressive turnout of over 1000+ bikers from diverse regions and backgrounds. Riders gathered at Biking Superstore, Balewadi, Pune to embark on a thrilling 79 kilometre journey to Monteria Resort, Vinegaon, all while enjoying the scenic routes and the spirit of the open road.
Safety remained a top priority, with participants attending a ‘safety riding’ session before the journey, while IBW Marshals led groups of riders, ensuring a well-coordinated, secure ride. Gulf Oil also provided fluorescent safety jackets to all riders, reinforcing its commitment to road safety. The event concluded with a fun push-up and burpee challenge at the endpoint, further energizing the biking fraternity.
