It all started with the Bangalore xBhp group inviting me for a small sunrise ride to Jayamangali Blackbuck Reserve .
I couldn't really make it all the way due to work but accompanied them till Madhugiri.
The Sunrise was absolutely breathtaking, stopping to invite it is worth riding for.
Its colours and warmth waking my senses. I remember the whole lot of us being captured and hastily capturing the fleeting moments in response.
Wouldn't be complete without a tribute shot of the sunrise with our rides, the machines that makes our collective hearts go beating
.
The sunrise also meant I had to head back to Tumkur side for some work before I head back into Bangalore for the rest of the day.
Thereafter bidding farewell to friends I headed west towards Bangalore - Tumkur Rd. It also hit me here that I was riding NH 234, the same road that eventually reaches Mangalore after going through Charmadi Ghat and its twisties. I knew several guys who had been there recently and come back completely thrilled and awed with the riding experience.
Upon reaching Sira, I got a call confirming my client's unavailability and hence began my escapade on Route 234 to begin with.
The road from Madhugiri all the way to Banawara was under construction and I had the day's first offroading session so to say... But right after that the road turned into this gorgeous tarmac of a surface... a surface where cornering just comes naturally. Closing in on the Western Ghats also comes with its perks of scenic extravaganzas and it had begun with the approaching of massive green lush trees beside the road.
The jagged western ghats in the background and the smooth CBR.
Black Betty.
This is element to riding. A cuppa hot roadside tea sitting in the shade with the sound of an odd occasional truck slowly rolling past. This had already made my day.
What came after only thrilled me to bits... beautifully sculpted lush green mountains with clouds playing hide and seek, the subtlety in the shades of green merged with the red of approaching spring could enamor almost anyone. Paradise.
I spent the evening relaxing under a tree beside the inundated delta area of a river on my way to Mangalore... I could smell the faint redolence of the sea with the winds picking up.
Spent the night over at Mangalore... Went all the way into town just enjoying the city and its energy around dinner time.
The next day I woke up with a determination to do a different route back to Bangalore and kicked off without much ado, i'd already extended an impromptu trip by one day.
