25th June 2006
Scheduled to leave home and meet the group at around 6 am on the NICE Road where everybody of the group had assembled. Got up only at 5.45 am definitely late courtesy previous day’s 600 kms ride. Some how reached the group on NICE Road at 6.30 am. Thanks to the boys for showing the patience.
We head to Mysore Road, detour towards Kengeri, and locate a hotel to have breakfast. Finished breakfast, here we waited for a little while as two more people were to join us. Soon everybody assembled 14 bikes in a line and rode like a train on the Mysore road, soon took a deviation towards Dodda Alada Mara. The roads were horrible. Soon our fears were realized, one of our boy’s bike had a puncture. So we located a puncture shop and got the tyre fixed. Soon rode through the horrible roads and reached the lake – Manchinabele. A little off roading, all our bikes were on the banks of the lake. Soon the photo session started. Soon every one of us were enjoying the breeze.
After good 2 hours, we all got to a consensus to ride towards Savandurga and then head back to Bangalore. Enroute, we stopped for fried groundnuts (hurida kadale kayi). Soon reached Savandurga which was pretty crowded, decided to leave the place. Now the twisties were very inviting. The peg scraping time had arrived. The roads being pretty decent and minimal traffic ensured, it was not risky to peg scrape, after all that what hardcore bikers crave for, the reason being no race tracks either to show your skills or improve your skills.
We reached the magadi road tollgate, bid goodbye to all and headed back home. Now time for the photos to speak more.
So 2 days, consecutive rides, totaling to around 750 kms, a part of life reclaimed.
