It had been almost 4 months since the inception of the BikerZone in Infy, Chandigarh. There was a time, in the yesteryears, when I used to go around looking for people with the zest for travelling on two wheels. But I could only find a handful. Moreover, I was pretty happy with my solo sojourns!

The group:
That was when my apprehensions diminished. These gentlemen were good, I could sense that. With a wry smile on my face I gradually moved to the head of the pack, a place where I was going to stay for most of the ride.
I reached Kumarhatti and waited for like an eternity. The first group arrived and informed me that Rahul (the second RE rider) had suffered a puncture near Koti. I called up the ride sweep, Archit, to know the situation. The puncture had been repaired and they were heading upwards. Hence, I moved on, as the first group lead to wait for the second group and then proceed.

We reached Tatthapaani in around 1pm and we still had some 40 kms to cover for Chindi. Here everyone relished pakoras and tea along with other light snacks.
Moving on, we had plenty of small photography cum smoke cum pee breaks. But one thing that I found highly impressive was that the rider in front used to slow down and then eventually stop, if the rider behind him disappeared from his RVM for more than a minute. This showed the collective responsibility that everyone shouldered!
We were at Chindi at 3 pm. The ride had taken 9 hours for the 200 odd kilometers which was fair considering the huge group size!
The Mamleshwar is a brilliant piece of property! The rooms are fabulous. The interiors, the space and ambience were to die for. The moment we reached, Archit began the process of allotting rooms. Thereafter, we had snacks that included cheese pakoras and juice amongst other things. Much to my surprise the dining hall was equally spacious, big enough for 30 odd people to be seated comfortably.

Some amazing moments later, dinner was served. Scrumptious a meal it was. Chicken, Mutton, Rice, Paneer dishes did rounds and everyone ate to their limit. People were happy, they were having fun and it was satisfying to see that look on their face!
Archit and I had another beer. Then maybe another.
Finally I called it a day at 1 am.
