01THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK
A ride with a cause
During a five-day cause ride in 2023, Divya says she was repeatedly left behind and made to feel unwelcome. Her years of solo experience carried her through; on two occasions she reached the destination before the group. Back home, she resolved to lead a ride with women and tell the story on her own terms.
That decision became Riding Miles, Igniting Minds, a book about resilience, hard lessons and women supporting women. The Golden Quadrilateral route connected Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata across approximately 6,000 kilometres. Its message: “Yes to education; no to drugs.”
