Prologue
Some say "When you are travelling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. There are no yesterdays on the road." True that. That feeling when you ride on an empty stretch of tarmac brings a certain smile on your face : priceless. No matter how far you go, no matter low long you ride, no matter what you ride, that feeling stays with you the moment you hit the road. It is this feeling that builds up and remains as memories, memories which you would cherish when you look back.
It was time for a new adventure, new destination, a new taste of freedom. Wait a minute..did i say freedom? Miscozi, I did not mean that because it had been a busy week for me at office and all I had was just a Sunday to ride down to somewhere on this beautiful planet of mine. Along came Saturday and my minds were up for some windmill ride. I straightaway planned to visit Chitradurga because that was the best place to see windmills mounted on hillocks all over the highway. However, my knowledge was immediately shattered when both [MENTION=57593]saquib3005[/MENTION] and @seahorses said that there are far better places in heaven and earth where you could find windmills, and that is near Pollachi, Tamil Nadu (I owe you one guys, your suggestion was really worth taking and it made my ride simply awesome
, you guys showed the knowledge of the places yet again!). I shared my plan to ride down to Pollachi to visit the windmills with couple of friends and one of them accompanied me, Mr. @jeevan.life (bro, I really appreciate you accompanying me, it was both fun and thrilling to ride alongside you ).
Okay, so now I looked into the map and what I saw gave me a "colon O". Here is what the total distance came down to :
A total of 911 KMs (to and fro). I was really not sure If we can do this much in one day. I talked to Jeevan and he said lets start the ride, anytime we feel we are not able to do, we would return back. He sounded pretty much confident in us completing this ride within one day. For me, I was like 70% confident because the most I have traveled in one day on by bike was some 650 odd KMs. This was indeed a big leap for me though.
Now, the riders:
1. Jeevan (aka. jeevan.life). He rides a Red CBR 250R ABS.
2. Me. I ride a Red Bajaj Avenger 180.
The plan was on and that was very important. We decided to meet at 01:00 AM at my house from where we would start our ride. Excitement is a harmful factor, if you have only few hours in your hand to get some good sleep and that is what exactly happened with me and Jeevan. Neither of us were able to get sleep, especially me because I had a thing for windmills and I was more than excited anticipating that I would be able to see sunrise along with windmills on the foreground. Who knew then that that is what will happen exactly and we both would be able to cover 900+ KMs in a single day (odo read 954 KMs to be exact) and neither of us actually were too tired (a stupid idea came on our minds to round it off to 1000 KMs by circling the city)when we reached back to Bangalore.
Anyways, I would share some teaser pictures as of now. Would be starting the log once the Prologue goes online.

. would start putting together the log tonight 
. Shook my head (technically it was a facepalm) and ran inside the house again. I wanted to see Jeevan's reaction that time though because I know he was either laughing on me or was red with anger
