Nasik to Ratnagiri on my Pulsar 220 DTS-i
Nasik to Ratnagiri on my Pulsar 220 DTS-i Route : Nasik - Mumbai- Ratnagiri
Days : 23rd December - 26th December 09
Distance : 500 kms.
Rider : Raj anand ( that's me )
Bike : Pulsar 220 DTS-i
Since Pulsar 220 was launched I always had a dream in my mind to ride to Ratnagiri on my bike which became true on 23rd December 09.
23rd December : Trip meter 0 kms. - I woke up early in the morning around 5:00 am and got ready quickly for my dream ride. I was very excited and could not believe that the day had finally arrived which I had been dreaming of since many months. At 6:00 am I started my ride from Nasik by NH-3. It was very cold that morning due which I was riding very slowly for 1 hour. After I passed the beautiful Kasara Ghat the Sun had rised and the wheather became a bit warm.

Around 8:30 am I stopped at Parivar Garden restaurant near Shahpur for brakfast. Due to many traffic jams near Mumbai I reached Panvel very late at 10:15 am.
Then I turned right to Goa Highway NH-17. The wheather was nice and the road was good with very less traffic, which made my ride more enjoyable. Passing through Pen, Kolad, Mangaon, I reached Mahad around 3:15 pm where I had my lunch at Kamat's restaurant. After 2 hours I again stopped for some snacks at Sangameshwar around 5:15 pm, till then I was very tired and Ratnagiri was still 50 kms away.

Taking many short-breaks in between I finally reached Hotel Vivek in Ratnagiri at 6:30 pm.
My odo reading was exact 500km. The whole day had passed very quickly and I enjoyed each moment of it.
