It was a cool and cloudy Friday evening; the weekend was around the corner and the monsoon hadn’t really arrived as yet. We sat on our rooftop (where most of our plans are hatched!) and discussed the coming weekend. While most people had shopping, a mall visit or the movies on their ‘to do’ list, a biker’s mind wanders onto the open road.
We decided that the hills would be great in this weather but we had to get back by Sunday afternoon, so we narrowed it down to Yelagiri Hills. It’s close enough for a short ride.
No sooner than ride was planned, the excitement set in! It’s strange how even after so many years of touring, every ride, even a short one brings a new wave of anticipation and joy! Yes, a biker’s best moments are on the highways
We wake up early as usual on Saturday morning and we head out on to Hosur road before crowds set in. The weather is cool and pleasant, a perfect day for a ride
Soon we are at Krishnagiri and pull over for breakfast. The piping hot dosas and coffee tastes delicious. Breakfast always tastes great on an early morning ride I guess. Hunger satiated, we are off again. After Krishnagiri, we turn on to the Chennai route and very soon we could see the hills up ahead. We realize that this really is a short ride as we near the foothills
Petrol is not available on top of Yelagiri, so it’s wise to fuel up before the climb. It’s a short climb compared to the many we have done, just 14 hairpin curves, but the climb is pleasant with a good road and lots of greenery.
To Be Completed......
Cheers!!
