Steadfast Athlete Mihir Jadhav is a champion cyclist from Maharashtra. Quite dramatically, his interest in cycling developed at the age of six when his father went for a cycle ride from Mumbai to Kanyakumari. In the initial years of Mihir’s life, his father, Mr Hemant Jadhav, used to tell him about his cycle rides, which encouraged him to go for rides in the first place. With his participation in a Mumbai to Pune ride at the age of eleven, Mihir started his professional cycling career and never turned back. The Steadfast Athlete is currently a national champion and dreams of playing at the Union Cycliste Internationale's World Championships.
