Hi guys,
After close to 10 long years in the IT industry and I am now knocking on the doors of a job that I yearned for all this while. I have been offered a 'Sales' profile with a start-up in Pune. My new employer is happy to let me choose when to join which gives me the whole of February to do things that I've been planning for a while.
1. A solo ride
2. A family trip (Mt. Abu and Udaipur with wifey and kiddo)
The family trip, as expected, is already planned. Its time now to nail the solo ride :-). So, here is my tentative route.
Pune, Maharashtra to Panaji, Goa - 434
Panaji, Goa to Udupi, Karnataka - 323
Udupi, Karnataka to Mangalore, Karnataka - 62
Mangalore, Karnataka to Kozhikode, Kerala - 237
Kozhikode, Kerala to Cochin, Kerala - 203
Cochin, Kerala to Allepey, Kerala - 53
Alleypey, Kerala to Trivandrum, Kerala - 152
Trivandrum, Kerala to Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu - 86
Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu to Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu - 85
Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu to Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu - 217
Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu to Tanjore, Tamil Nadu - 239
Tanjore, Tamil Nadu to Pondicherry, Pondicherry - 175
Pondicherry, Pondicherry to Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu - 100
Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu to Bangalore, Karnataka - 335
Bangalore, Karnataka to Hubli Karnataka - 413
Hubli Karnataka to Pune, Maharashtra - 424
3538
A total of close to 3500 kms (on a month old Classic 500) from 3rd February to 16th February (14 days). I haven't planned the ride details like where to stop and how much to travel in a day and various other things.
Now, even though its a solo ride, I'm not averse to having company. So, if anyone from this amazing community is interested to join me, let me know via a pm. I'm happy to do all the logistical planning for the entire journey. I have a fairly good experience doing long rides so this should not too overwhelming.
I have tried to tick all the key places that I'd like to visit. Given the time constraint, I've had to let go off a few places.
I'd also love to meet fellow xbhpians enroute as and when time permits. I'll post a detailed ride plan when I get around that.
Cheers.
