  • First Roadtrip - Mussoorie & Rishikesh

    Hi,

    After reading endless threads on Xbhp I finally decided to do a short road trip to get the feel of these tours as this was the first long tour for me (Before this i had only done 110 km one side to my Home town near Garh Ganga). So After my recent trip to Nainital (By my car with Family. My Brother was not able to make due to leave problems in office ) my brother was like i would also want to go to some hill station and he decided that he will go to Mussoorie & Rishikesh (specially for Rafting ) and told to me that you will be going with me as well and i said yes instantly and it all started on Saturday 01-June-2013 from Delhi (West Sagarpur, Near Janak Puri)..............

    Here are some Pic's (Not many as this was only a Sat & Sun trip and we have to cover a lot of ground)

    Thread Approved

    I hope the above is just a teaser. Do try to follow it up with your experiences on your ride.
    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      Thanks for approving. This is just a teaser but this thread would be a short one :-(, Were not able to click many pic's due to uncertain circumstances.....

                        Re: First Roadtrip - Mussoorie & Rishikesh

                        I have tanked up my bike on the eve of Saturday (31-May-


                        2013), filled it with correct Tyre pressure have PUC done


                        for it. So after packing all our stuff and rechecking if


                        we are missing some thing me (Ashish) & my brother (Rahul


                        aka Bunty) went to bed on 31-May-2013 at around 10:00 PM


                        but as you all may know because of the excitement of our


                        first tour we were not able to sleep and were awake till


                        around 12:30 talking to each other. Then at 2:15 am on 01


                        -June-2013 got a call from one of our group member


                        (Sachin) to wake up and get ready so that we can start as


                        early as possible we started getting ready and were all up


                        & ready to leave by 3:15 am and then picked up sachin's


                        friend (Santosh aka Mendis) on the way near Janakpuri D


                        Block. it was nice to drive that early in the morning as


                        roads are relatively less crowded except for some trucks


                        on the road. When we entered ghaziabad we took our first


                        stop to call my cousin (Deepak) and his friend (Praveen


                        aka Popy) who would be joining us from Meerut. I called


                        Praveen first and no response and i said to my bro what


                        the f..., Then he tried calling Deepak and after 2-3 tries


                        he picked up and said he will be ready and call popy as


                        well so after waisting around 15-20 minutes here we


                        started again and then just after crossing modinagar we


                        took another stop to call these guys and they replied that


                        they will reach at meerut bypass by around 5:30 so we


                        proceededfurther to Meerut and when we reached meerut by


                        pass they were no where in sight and we called them up and


                        there was no response and we kept waiting for these guys


                        for around 10-15 minutes then we saw them and it was a


                        sigh of relief to see them. Then these guys insisted to


                        have a break here to have their so called suta break and


                        waisted anothe 5-10 minutes their. Aftre that i told them


                        that we need to hurry up now and will have to drive a bit


                        faster to coverup as much distance as possible before the


                        scorching Sun would be on our heads and then we started.


                        Then just after one Km strange things started showing up


                        in popy's bike it was not going over 60-65km/h anf missing


                        as well. so we have to drive in that range to be with


                        them. Then just after riding for around 10km these guys


                        (My cousin & His friend) started saying that they want to


                        stop for tea i said please at least drive for 30 km then


                        we will have it and i stretched them till around 25 km and


                        then we stoped at a road dhabba to have some food and tea


                        but the service on that dhabba was not upto mark and they


                        took around 20 min to bring our order of aloo pyaz


                        paratha, tea and some sandwiches.

                              Good to know that the biking bug is biting more people, but dude work on the text and the formatting of the trip log. The purpose is to make it an entertaining read, with a little more effort i am sure this would turn out far better.
