Oh Yes! A biker’s dreams! Forever flitting around long winding highways, misty mountains, sunrises filled with hope and promise and sunsets waving goodbye. Of curvy wooded roads and thrilling hairpin bends, enchanting forests and eerie silences. Of standing at the edge of a cliff to admire the horizon, to be deeply grateful to God for this beautiful world we call home.
Motorcycling for us is not about the journey or the destination, it’s a celebration of our freedom, of chasing our dreams and a celebration of life itself.
It’s the holiday season and a lovely time of the year, pleasantly chill nights and bright sunny days. Perfect to mount our bike and ride off of yet another adventure! And that’s exactly what we did, on another chill winter morning we set off on a 2,000km ride to rediscover some more beautiful corners of our world and discover ourselves too as we ride on.
It’s been a fairly long ride stretched over 7 days as explore and connect with friends and family through the Christmas week. The log will be in parts just as our journey was
1. Bangalore/Krishnagiri/Salem/Trichy/Tanjavur/Nagapattanam/Velankanni
It’s been an annual ritual for us since many years to visit the holy shrine Velankanni and this year was no different. As usual we leave early in the morning. It’s the middle of winter and the chill hits you and wakes you up and the thrill of the start of a long ride only bikers will understand.
It’s a by now too familiar highway like so many others, having gone through this way so many times, but still every ride feels special and joyful.
We are soon near Dharmapuri and pull over for a breakfast of hot dosas and coffee. We enjoy these little wayside shacks with their wood fire and food served with a smile and of course there are the mandatory curious looks at our bike, gear and maybe our age too!
Breakfast over we head out again and a little after noon we reach Trichy and decide to have an early lunch on the outskirts to avoid stopping inside the city. The roads are good except a very small stretch at the end and be around 5pm we reach the Velankanni shrine.
After visiting the shrine we retire for the night at one of the rooms on the church premises
The Onward Adventure...To Be Continued..
Cheers!
