10th June 2006
A reason to ride, this time my friend had bought a new bike, since he had just started riding just a few months, so the total distance should not exceed 250 kms. Mekedhatu was the place chosen by my friend. No objections by me, as he was the sponsor for the ride (he he).
Started lazily in the morning, rode till Kanakapura, and had breakfast. Soon headed off to Sangam, reached there found a good place to park our bikes. We had to cross the river which was just knee deep. We had to cross the river to go to Mekedhatu. Crossed the river, and soon an old bus was waiting for us to take to the spot. The spot is around 4 kms or so as told by the driver. We reached the spot, climbed up a few rocks to see the beautiful view, but the spot is dangerous too, its known to have claimed quite a few lives here, people jumping into the river willingly or accidentally, whichever way, the end result is pretty devastating. Soon after a little more than an hour, we headed back to Sangam in the bus. Now it was play time in the knee deep river. A couple of hours and then we headed back to the place we had parked the bikes. A small shop where we found, nimbe hannu chitranna (lemon rice), finished and it was time to head back home.
Rode back home, enough fun to rejoice and relish for the day.
