We had hardly finished our Wayanad and Coorg ride when another long weekend popped up, and to a biker the temptation to head onto a highway is hard to resist.
And so on the 1st of November on a cool and misty morning, its jackets, gloves, helmets and saddle bags on and good bye city and hello highway!
The long weekend meant all kinds of holiday makers on the road. We saw carloads of families with excited kids and dozens of bikers heading to various destinations. We chatted with a few of them at our pit stop for breakfast. Always a pleasure to meet a fellow biker all geared up and heading out.
A planter friend of ours had made arrangements for us at a club in Sakleshpur where we were to spend the day. Most of the highway is complete now and a real pleasure to ride on and we bikers being an exclusive class are even exempted from toll (wink, wink!)
At Hassan we see many bikers turn right heading towards Belur/Halebid & Chickmgalur. A wave and a thumbs up and we carry on.
We reach Sakleshpur before noon after a relaxed ride and check into our room. The club house is quite and relaxed place. Established in 1893, it exudes a wonderful old world charm with its garden and tall stately trees.
Coming Up...An Enchanting Morning Ride
