Day 5:

Route : Shoranur- Manjeri-Kalpetta-Sulthan Bathery-Gundlupet-Mysore-Mandya-Bangalore

Alarms supposed to ring at 5Am, by the time it starts ringing, one of us is getting dressed and the other one taking bath, how time conscious are we :b:
5.45 Am the machines start warming up on a considerably cool summer morning. Since I had done this stretch earlier in Jan, it was easier for us to pass through smaller towns without any problem. The weather, the open roads, the twists and turns, everything was just perfect. Few kilometers before Areacode (Areecode) we stop for some fine parothas and curry at a restaurant which seemed like we were the first customers for the day. The early morning Junta around the hotel were wondering what we were up to so early in the morning. Had told Gautham well in advance(infact even before the ride started) that he will enjoy the ghats of Wayanad from Thamarasherry. Towns kept passing in no time. Around half past 9 we were climbing the ghats of Wayanad . The roads were neatly marked this time, giving an indication that the ghats relaying work is complete. One can easily do the initial stages of the ghats at triple digits. Ultra wide roads with clear sight of oncoming traffic, adds the cherry. I know somebody who has done these roads about 6-7 months back would read the above few lines twice or thrice. Even though it was a Sunday, the traffic was minimal. Over excited over the plight of roads, we stop for a photo shoot. Kept wondering how things were going so perfect since morning. If one have to describe the roads, it BUTTER SMOOTH (could have given a better example, but for now will stick to this comparison).









The lungi man :b:


To hell with the world.........


Damm , the traffic

Lakkidi View PointThe tripmeter reading after the ride




With everything said and done it was a fantastic ride, covering one of the finest roads of TN and more of Gods Own Country.

Looks like one fabulous ride! I so much liked your narration and not to mention the super pictures.

Its refreshing to see bloodstock zma back again picturing in today's new breed of motors.

Ye it was indeed Tejas Thanks for liking the log

Enjoyed every bit of your trip log and super compliments to Gautam for the amazingly crisp pics. I have travelled a 100 times thru beautiful Wyanad, but his lens work make the place look even more lovely.

Ride safe.

Thanks a ton Haroon for liking the log will convey your compliments to him

Awesome bro.....no words..... and those twisties!!! oh man!!! I just want to be there now!!! BTW really sry.....i've cursed you guys a lot.....can't help....really sry...

Thanks I dont mind the cursing

Lovely Captured and very well narated ,and what about zma and zmr perform efficiency??and ride was very nice

Thanks Ramborider. Both the bikes were spot on. No probs what so ever. If you are referring about fuel efficiency ZMR takes the cake with 46-49 overall thoughout the trip, even cruising at 100-110 consistently on straights and slightly lower on the ghats.The Zma gave a decent 40-42 overall.

great write up and pictures. enjoyed the log. good work

nice route you guys have taken and yeah so that you guys who visited shiavs showroom ...

good photographs and hope you know now a days kerala is more hot then sudan :P
