Sarvajit

We had been to 2 dams in AP yesterday. Didn't find much water, but the ride was worth it.

My test-ride experience of the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post725556

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

While you wait for the movie.. here is the script

Triplog: Medak - NizamSagar - Pocharam
Sat 01 Aug

Riders:
1. Cheedhu on RE TBTS
2. Amarnath on Bajaj Avenger200
3. Sarvajit on Yamaha R15
4. Rahul on Bajaj Pulsar 220
5. Ketan and Dileep on HH Ambition135

Start:
Location: Axis bank ATM, Kompally
Time: 6:30am
as usual, we were a little late to start. Chandru who was supposed to come was down with fever, so we were down to 5 bikes with one pillion.
Sarvajit picked up Ketan and reached the starting point by 6:30. Rahul also reached about the same time. Cheedhu reached the start point by about 6:40. Amarnath had lost the way and called up the riders to find out how to reach the starting point and reached by 6:50. we had a quick round of the usual introductions, brefing of the riding instructions and few pictures and started off about 7:00am

Location: Just after Toll plaza, NH7
Time: about 7:45am
We had planned to stop at the Reliance A1 Plaza for breakfast but few riders missed the point and had stopped a little further. We stopped as the next good dhaba and had breakfast. spent some good time there and started off from there at about 8:45am Sarvajit and Rahul exchanged bikes to check out each others and were ripping them and then waited for the rest uf us to catch up. At about 9:15 we detour as planned, rode through Chegunta, only to find us back on the NH7, realized we had missed a turn and turned back and took the state highway to Medak.

Location: Medak
Time: 10:00am
We reached Medak and after asking the locals for directions, we reached the Medak church which was on the state highway just opposite the Medak bus station. We went to the church which is supposedly the second last church in Asia. The art and architecture of the church is beautiful. regretfully photograhy was not allowed inside the church so we could not take any good pics.
after spending some time, we started off from there at about 10:30am towards Nizam sagar on the same state highway. The roads were not all that bad and we could do about 75+. We stopped near Pocharam to take some pics, decided to come back to the dam later as planned.

Location: Nizam Sagar dam
Time: 11:30am
Again after some help from the locals, we had to take a kuccha road to the dam. as we expected, there was very less water in the dam, not even up to the level of the dam gates!. we rested at the park and some of us wandered around taking a few pictures. There were a lot of monkeys around so atleast one of us in turns were around our things to guard our things ;-) We started off from there and took the somewhat better pucca road back to the state highway back to Pocharam.

Location: Pocharam Dam (Inspection Bunglow side)
Time: 1:30pm
Sarvajit, Ketan, Rahul took their bikes on the Dam. Cheedhu and Amarnath decided to park their bikes at the old inspection bunglow and walk on the dam. we found that even Pocharam dam had very less water. much lesser than what was there the last time we visited. so much that some people were even walking to the middle with fishing rods. We called up Chandru who cold not make it as he was down with fever, had a talk for a few mins. Cheedhu rode the Pulsar 220 on the dam to check it out. we left Pocharam at about 2:30pm to ride back to Medak

Location: Medak
Time: 2:45pm
We stopped Just outside Medak to decide about lunch.
Sarvajit, Ketan and Dileep decided they did not want to have lunch, instead wanted to head back straight to Hyderabad.
Cheedhu, Rahul and Amarnath stopped at a hotel just outside the Medak bus stand to have lunch.

The ride(s) back to Hyderabad:
Sarvajit, Ketan and Dileep were not hungry&did not want to have lunch, continued their return back to Hyderabad. sarvajit, maybe coz he did not have lunch, or the fatigue, started feeling sleepy and slowing down on the way back to Chegunta. He then stopped, washed his face, refreshed himself and headed towards chegunta together, back on the NH7. once sarvajit hit the 4-lane NH7, he ripped of and reached Hyderabad, covering about the last 70kms in 45mins to reach at about 4:00pm. Ketan and Dileep followed him on the NH7. but once in the city limits, the traffic Jam slowed him down and he reached home a little late at about 5:00pm

Cheedhu, Rahul and Amarnath had their lunch and startd off from Medak at about 3:45pm. Amarnath was ahead and took the state highway towards Hyderabad which goes through Narasapur and Bahdurpalli. Cheedhu realized that this is not the planned route via chegunta and all stopped. Then decided to continue on the state highway till Narsapur and then decide about which way to go further. the state highway ofcourse is not as good as NH, but the riders could constantly keep over 75. After reaching narsapur, then it was decided to continue on the state highway itself as it was only about 55kms to Hyderabad. Riding till bahdurpalli, reached Kompalli at about 5:00pm. as usual, riding thru the city traffic, reached home by 5:30pm.

Interesting read. Thanks Cheedhu.

In a single day you managed to visit 2 dams! That is quite interesting.
