After the December 2006 ride, no ride for 28 days, was stuck up with office work as it was a fiscal year end in the company. Had to work on the 26th Jan 2007 as well, damn it.
This time it was my friend Bunty and Naveen accompanying me. So 3 people on 2 bikes
Myself – Apache
Bunty & Naveen – Pulsar 150 V1
27th January 2007
Scheduled start being 4 am, I had to pick up Bunty from Ramurthynagar. So left home at 3 am after packing all the necessary thing. This time we started on time, but the progress was slow due to very cold morning and also Pulsar’s poor headlight ensured we made slow progress until 5.45 am. From then on we moved faster. We had breakfast at Nanjangud. It was already 7.30 am. So we started doing decent speeds and covered a good distance in a reasonable space. Soon reached Kalpetta at around 10 am. Dumped all the luggage and headed off towards Soochipura falls. Had to walk for about half a kilometer or so. It was pretty decent place with quite a few people filled the space.
After spending close to an hour’s time at the waterfalls, we headed back to Kalpetta. On the way back, we decided to have lunch at one of the small hotels. A bad decision, ensured we wasted another hour and a half here. We headed back to Kalpetta and started towards a dam. Poor roads ensured we returned almost after dark.
Just before dinner, Naveen got a call from his Dad that he had got a visa appointment, so had to rush back before Sunday night.
28th January 2007
As per the previous day’s decision we started early in the morning 6 am. I did not want to waste the day, so persuaded Naveen that we will visit Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta. Not bad we made it quick time to reach Gundlupet. Had breakfast and headed to Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta which is just 25 kms from Gundlupet. Visited the temple and soon had a small talk with the forest guard and then set off for a small trek along the forest. It took almost about 2 hours there. Soon we were feeling hungry, so headed to the Pugmark restaurant and had lunch. I was still persuading Naveen that we will take the Jungle Safari, but this time a strong no, so headed back to Bangalore after lunch.
The Sunday traffic ensured we reached home by 7.30 pm. Bikers itch reduced to an extent but not completely.
