A slow Tamhini Sunday in November: Mulshi backwaters, chai at the top, 20 kmph where it matters

Plotting a first Sunday of November run and I want it deliberately unhurried. Roll out of Chandani Chowk before six, Paud while the light is still flat, then the Mulshi backwater road with cold tarmac and almost no traffic. Breakfast at the top rather than at the bottom, so nobody is in a hurry on the descent.
Worth knowing before you map it: after the July damage, Tamhini came back only for two wheelers, cars, light vehicles and ST buses, heavy vehicles still barred, with a 20 kmph cap through the ghat stretch while work continues (Pune Pulse). So this is a sightseeing crawl, and honestly the Interceptor is lovely in second gear there.
My pre ride check is boring on purpose. Tyre pressures cold, brake pads that have eaten four months of grit, fork seals, headlight aim for the early start.
Tell me if you want the Nive side added or kept for summer.

One doubt as the EV guy in the group, any charging point around Paud or Mulshi in case someone's on a scooter like mine? Range anxiety is real on these longer loops. Also vote for skipping Nive, no point stretching an already slow Sunday.
