Date: 26-May-2011 t0 29-May-2011
Venue: Sea Coast of Mandarmani-Digha-Udaipur 200 Kms from Kolkata
Bike: White ZMR
Riders: Myself & Wife
Distance Covered: 525 Kms to & fro in FOUR days.
Day-I (26-May-2011,Thursday)
Started around 05:40 AM with lots of enthusiasm
, caution 
& optimism 
.
First long ride in my life,
That too with my wife...
First one hour was uneventful covering around 75 kms till Kolaghat.
Wide Xpressway Roads with few trucks and tankers. Cautiously negotiated and overtook them.
Touched THREE digit figures for a considerable time.
After a relaxed breakfast started for the rest of the journey around 08:00 AM.
The next one hour ride covering 40 kms left me exhausted with heavy traffic due to road construction, diversion and congestion.
Forced to take a Tea break and tried to relax myself. Suddenly felt little nervous.
My Wife inspired me and cooled down myself.
Luckily one of my ex-colleague joined me for the next one hour ride in his CBZ Xtreme.
He was on his way to some office work on that stretch. He also informed me that
there was a glint of hope that roads are going to be pretty decent after some time.
Overataking State Transport Buses on these narrow roads are a big pain and following them either is no gain.
After my colleague moved his own way from an intersection I was riding with renewed energy.
Suddenly at a point a bus stopped on his left and I was travelling behind it only to overtake it.
But a speeding ambassador from the opposite side zoomed in suddenly from the front of the bus.
Somehow I managed to veer left and saluted the Almighty.
My first brush with some high voltage riding experience.
Ultimately reached the destination around 11:00 AM and after lot of searching found a decent Resort to stay.
Spent the rest of the day with resting and strolling on the beach.
