    Fresh Strawberries with Cream - Weekend trip to Mahableshwar

    30-Nov-2008, a bunch of five xBhpians did a small (333.9 km) trip from Pune to Mahableshwar.
    Those who missed out (read ditched at the last moment), missed a lot of fun.

    The five riders who had a lot of fun were
    1. Snehmadhur - snehmads - Yamaha R15
    2. Kashif - tourer_kashif - Pulsar 180 DTSi (Fear the black version)
    3. Ritwik - ritwik23 - Pulsar 200 DTSi
    4. Inder - inder.cool - Karizma
    5. Niranjan - niranjanvaidya - Pulsar 220 DTSFi

    A small teaser in the attachment. Pictures will be loaded by EOD today.

            MG, it was taken on the way from M'shwer to Tapola (mini kashmir, as the locals describe )

              That is backwater.

              MG, that pic is taken some 5-7 kms away from Mahabaleshwar towards Tapola...!! Tapola is basically known for its watersports activities(Apart from Venna Lake) like Waterscooter and peddle boats...

                Yes, this is a part of Mahableshwar known as Tapola. It is approximately 27 kilometers from main Mahableshwar. The access road is quite narrow but really enjoyable.

                      The weather(for some time though) there was foggy...!! Ohh it was just a bliss to the eyes seeing that...!!

                      And regarding the ghats of Mahabaleshwar to Panchgani...it was freaking good...!! with lots of left and right twisties(read 'S' shaped twisties)....it was real fun riding there....

                      Though our riders Sneh and Kashif....werent able to make FULL utilisation of the conditions(the ghats) bcoz of lack of experience of riding in the ghats...

                      At last not to forget the Kambhakti ghats...which are one way ghats....there to it was not stopping us.... (Hope NV would be able to express it a bit more as he didnt get much vehicles in his way, but unfortunate me encountered a lot of vehicles in there )

                          Hmm thats the basic reason....why they were a bit slow in the ghats....the safety concern...though they are pretty responsible riders

                          Pics of the ghats wont be there....as no one took pics there....everyone was busy in riding.....

                          But, a small photshoot was done at the twisties which were there from mahabaleshwar to tapola....will post them..!!

                            Hey where and at what time you guys were in mahabaleshwar!

                            We too from Mumbai made a trip on 30th November to the same place.

                            I think we must have crossed paths.

                            I'm too uploading the Pics and Log by today evening.

                            Kind,

                              have been thr 2 years back but always wanted to do a bike trip, the ghats from mahabaleswar to panchgani are also really good. vahan gaye the ?
                              Yes...that is THE road to Mahableshwar for us...earlier, we had fun in the Khambatkhi ghat...its a one way ghat..and amazing twisties...
                              On the way down from Pachgani to Wai, we had a couple of guys (double seated) on a Pulsar 180 who wanted to show off their riding skills and on seeing kitted riders on 220s and 200s, tried to weave and lean and went ahead...narrowly missing oncoming traffic...
                              If these guys are reading this post by any chance...the following message is for them
                              "Guys, its a road...not a track...if you want to really get noticed, please enroll in a proper riding school and ensure that you ride on a track...cause when you fall on a track, the gravel traps will at least be able to hold you...in a ghat like that where you were riding, the rock face, the valley or an oncoming vehicle will be the only options that you will have."
                              Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
