Hi Folks,
Yet another time completed the misty western ghats mountain biking successfully. Enjoyed every moment of the ride. It was an amazing ride with sunrise, sunset, butter smooth roads, good roads, worst roads, beyond worst roads, no roads, hair pin bend curves, down hills, steep up hills, forest, scenic views, lakes, ponds, animals, birds, mountain peaks, rains, mist, temples, rivers, countless water streams, beach, eateries, drinks, food (All veggie), unlimited fun and last but not least my best cycling buddies (Prashanth and Manjunath). What not..? I cannot ask for more.
Read on for the detailed ride report (write-up).
The plan was like this:
Bangalore to Channarayapatna by boarding a bus, it was the KSTRC Raja Hamsa.
Cycling route: - Channarayapatna-Holenarasipura-Arkalgud-Shanivarsante-Bilse Ghat- Kukke Subrahmanya-Dharmasthala-Ujire-Karkala-Manipal-Malpe Beach-Udupi.
Udupi to Bangalore again by boarding a bus, it was the KSRTC Volvo Multi Axle.
Riders:
Santosh with Cannodale Trial SL5 29er.
Prashanth with a Btwin Rockrider 5.3.
Manjunath with a Cannondale Trial SIX.
Day 0: We had booked the bus tickets for 12th Sept night 11:30PM bus trip. I was working on a 9AM-6PM shift was easy to go home get ready and cycle to Majestic but for Prashanth and Manjunath it 1:30PM to 10:30PM and had to leave little early for the day. So they had to prepared with their stuff ready by a day before and cycle from office to Majestic directly. All reached by 10:45PM boarded the bus.
This is one of the best rides in rain, real adventure mountain biking. Planned and executed well. If you ask me to do it again, yes I may do it again. The total cost incurred for each was about Rs.1960 which includes stay, food, transport and unlimited fun:P:P. Total distance covered was 320KM read the odo.
