  • [Photo Feature]: Weekend hill ride ,yercaud calling again

    FB status :
    3rd time visited yercaud , but this time I found best weather , food over there . Explored some places .. Njoyed a day (550+kms) (27/7/2014)


    ...


    I have been to yercaud 2 times before this trip , but when boredom stuck in regular college days , with light pocket with no holiday to spend then I had to choose some place close from my hostel.


    More over Santosh , and sujoy da , both of them never been to yercaud so they choose this place ..


    Some day ago only we rented a Honda unicorn which was nearly scrap condition , after 2 days of full DIY it came back to good condition to ride , so sujoy da wanted to test it on highway ..


    So 27th july early morning we hit the road wih Santosh as my pillion and sujoy da following me on his unicorn with yellow fog light ;D




    With constant cruising in my regular 80-90 kmph we reached vaniyambadi and then near the foot hills of yelagiri in 1hour 5mins sharp , time was then around 6am..


    Had tea in local road side tea shop.



    Sujoy da with uni , santosh with my bike






    After that again we cruised towards our destination but in little slower speed because of 2lane SH and frequent town junctions . around 8 we reached near the foot hill of yercaud ..








    bade miya & chhote miya (me and santosh )



    sujoy da and santosh poses while on the way , photo stop



    our trusted machines



    they also enjoyed the road



    some views from there



    hope you are not bore of this hill pics ..


    At 1st we went to pagoda view point , enjoyed the beautiful weather






    posing again



    story same



    "yercaud has 1 hospital but 4 cemetery "





    helmet's view


    After that we directly went to Hotel tamilnadu for breakfast .
    We had pongal and upma , which was only available



    Places to see there



    map for that



    me there


    We skipped boating and zoo as we all were tired of these both .


    We rode towards Ladies seat,gent's seat . Some pics from there





    Liked beacause of weather



    no comments about santosh



    lots of improvement in last 2 years



    cup of joy overflowed , so jumping santosh



    parked our steeds



    we I see



    blind spot mirror



    view from there






    regular snaps









    helmets








    the white beam fallen down just after that snap , they saved some how , worst build quality

    After roaming there we left the place , and went towards the "sri chakra mahameru temple ". I liked the environment there , I saw buddha and shiva in same temple and visited by local muslim women ..
    Nothing more to see, loved that place though it was quite far from yercaud city , didn't explore it before .


    Sujoy da & santosh slept there (really they were asleep for good 45mins) while I was enjoying the nature ..


    As camera was not allowed inside the temple so no pics from there ..
    Some pics of outside






    bom bhole


    Time was around 4pm , we decided to start riding back .
    We reached yercaud city and had late lunch with paratha and chicken and omlate and in the mean time it started raining heavy ..
    I had my raincote but not others , so waited there for around 1hour for rain to stop .


    Then slowly started riding back bidding good bye to yercaud ..
    Riding back was horrible in 2 lane SH eating dusts of big trucks ..
    Though our extra light setup saved us that day from super 130 watts highbeam of those oncoming trucks ..


    Reached hostel at around 9pm ...
    A day well spend..
    All the pics clicked from 2mp mobile camera ..


    My road of life continues .................................................. .............

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


    THE END

              I saw those ATVs , I never got interested to waste money there , for me its better to put some more petrol and explore some other places ..
              I talked to them if they allow me to their track on my own bike but they didn't allow me

              About riding gear I always use Helmet,gloves,shoes ..
              and a thick winter+rain jacket saved my skin twice (I use it whenever I ride)... Riding jacket is on my card will get after getting into job for sure ..
