After my ride to kemmangundi-mulliyanagiri desire to have another long ride was in my mind all it required was a proper Ignition . After a major project release in Feb i was sitting like a lazy pune in govt office it was like adding NGK sparks to me , immediately plan for another ride got ignited 
.
I was 99% decided to ride again to kemmangundi ,kudremukh and near by places as last time i could not cover all the places and the beauty of the place was haunting me . So planning was done , will first ride solo to bang then me and my friend will cover the places and back to bang , next day me to HYD. Was just checking the routes on GMaps then suddenly my eyes caught a famous Hill station , Ooty . Searched for trip logs on xbhp.com saw many logs and even added another place wayanad to the list. So finally decided for 3 day trip to ooty and wayanad .
Then asked few queries to Bang team , got help from pahinkar & roshan about the places to see in ooty and wayanad. That remaining 1% changed the whole plan .
Day1 : Thought of starting by 5 AM , got delayed till 6:30 AM there was a slight laziness in me as my mind was constantly bugging me with few questions :what r u doing ? are you mad? lets have a nice sleep , go to movie eat biryani , why are you leaving all the comforts of home and riding till ooty etc etc .. but my heart had a upper hand over my mind and finally started the cold blooded zmaR . Just before joining NH7 i thought of taking a shortcut to save a 1 or 2 kms and ended on some other way. Had to return back to old route and finally made it to NH7 , lost some good 20 mins here . Started riding @ speeds of 80-90 by 7:30 covered about 80 kms and stopped for Idli yummy drank few bowls of hot sambar saw Mr. cursedcrusedar's SMS about whether i started my ride to bang he had plans to ride to bang next day so was waiting for my track report . By 10:15 reached kurnool saw some queue out side a HH show room , they were waiting for their vehicle's turn for Servicing then i remembered that i did not cleaned my bike's air filter before my ride went to HH workstation asked some mech to clean airfilter he refused saying there are lot of bikes for servicing went to supervisor and addressed him by "SIR" he immediately agreed all other were looking at me as if i was alien with jacket and gloves . He asked few questions when he heard that i was riding to ooty , ooty on bike are you mad? 
i thought there are whole bunch of such guys out there . 40 mins 
& Rs 24 , job was done i started my ride further reached anantapur by 1:30 , rode further till i reached dhabha had my lunch relaxed for some time watched bangla-WI match for some time and finally reached bang outskirts @ 4:30 PM manged to ride in bang traffic and reached my friend's room by 5:30 that ends my first long solo ride .
