A quick time check and we realized our 30 minute breakfast stop turned out an hour and a half. So off we were again all charged up to conquer the hills.

It was fairly a straight ride to the hills however the over enthusiasm made some of the guys miss the turn to Elagiri, so this added another 40 odd minutes reaching the base of the hills.
Since I was the first there I took a video of them pass by (will put the link here a bit later can find the video now).

Since we reach there about 11am; traffic was next to nil perfect setting for an avid biker - an empty mountainous road to attack the curves.( Helmet cams missed badly)




So after the ride up we found resort had lunch at this point realized it was 2 pm we needed be back home, after the first 3 curves down we realized that not enough pictures were taken. So here again we were goofing around taking pictures. Saw a python but missed taking pictures.

So after a memorable day we decide to call it quits and head back, we got caught in shower about 35km from Electronic city Bangalore.



Was finally back home talking about the days adventure and showing the picture when my wife asked "Cant find the pictures of the monkey's?"
to which my mom quips "did you not see the one sitting next to you.."

What to watch out for

1) Monkeys when you stop on the look out points, one of them almost stole the bike key. Maybe it wanted to be the fastest monkey
2) Road from Bangalore to Krishnagiri is under construction at parts and driver/riders need to be extra vigilant for diversion
3) Look out for local villager driving or riding on the wrong side and crossing the road without indications without looking for oncoming traffic.
4) While ascending the hills beware of crowds standing around as they are generally having a drink and can be a nuisance.
5) As a biker if you notice traffic try to stop and enjoy the look out point for few minutes as it helps you get a clear road ahead.

Essentials
1)Bikers carry plenty of water
2)Carry cash as ATM's are difficult to find past the Krishnagiri rest stop I mentioned earlier.
