The achievement of Brijeshwar Singh and Manmohan Singh stands as one of the most remarkable endurance feats recorded in India’s athletic history. In June 2023, these two cyclists undertook a journey that had never been attempted before. Their mission was simple in articulation but monumental in execution.
