Re: My first Travelogue - Chennai to Pondicherry..

Passionate about Long Rides.. Wonderful to hear.. and yes.. I know how bad it feels when people turn down the bike ride trips.. I used to face the same problem in my previous company.. Used to gather some 5 people who are willing to go when we plan the trip and as the day nears.. they back out saying I have some work etc etc..

Finally in the new company i ended up meeting 2 idiots who are passionate on biking and touring just like me but never had anyone to give them company.. me and one other guy were new joinee and we ended up the same way like you.. except our first long tour was to Nepal (Kathmandu) and boy.. i can understand your feelings

Seems like you had a wonderful day.. but this was last year, wasn't it??

waiting for more pics and updates from you mate..

Cheers..

Re: My first Travelogue - Chennai to Pondicherry..

Exact same problem with my friends too. Everyone thought I was crazy to want to ride for such long distances.
At that time I did not know about xbhp or others.
Did a solo ride to Elagiri and then found Xbhp and Chennai Xbhp. There is no dearth of people to ride with here.

Join us sometime.

It was definitely open

went to the Sand bars taking the boat.. enjoyed in the beach for about 2.5hrs and then left.. we went there not knowing whether it will be open.. first plan was to Mudaliar Kuppam.. but after reaching Mudaliar Kuppam, we changed the plan to Pondicherry and made it there..

Nice! First I heard it was closed, then only boat rides were being allowed. Awesome, got to plan a trip there.. love the place! Last time I spent all my afternoon and evening there., took the last boat back.

[MENTION=47940]ram.kris86[/MENTION] : congratulations - for the 1st log as well as the great ride & superb fotos.
dont worry too much about like-minded company.
just take good care of ur ride as if she were your child & start riding solo.
there is a list of essentials one needs to carry for emergencies, break-downs, rains, heat, etc.
keep a set of these items as a standby.
once this is done & ur ride is in perfect condition, the only thing that comes between u & ur gateaways is the weekdays

most importantly, PLEASE INVEST in proper riding gear - ur life is far more precious than your ride & ur job - both put together - trust that u agree.
ride safe & may the force be w/ u my friend!

Re: My first Travelogue - Chennai to Pondicherry..

Continuation..

Please BARE with my long write-up

I understood one thing, with my past experience. If we plan for a ride, 2 situations are common for all.

Though a good night sleep is necessary the previous night: This hardly happens :P
Alarm is not at all necessary, every time I wake up before it rings and I am very sure most of you would have experienced the same.
