A Wet and Wild MMS
, a ride for which we all have been excited for long.

The riding was wet and wild and we loved it!! You can make that out by the grins above ;-)
It was wee hours of August 15th when 10 of us embarked on an Adventure of sorts.
Seven of us started from Jaipur:
Anukraman Singh KTM Duke
Bhuwan Singh RE TBTS 500
Yashwant Bhateshwar Pulsar 220
Virendra Singh Avenger 220
Abhishek CBR 250
Sunny Agarwal RE Classic 350
Your's Truly Digvijay Singh RE Classic 500
Shalini
Sagar
Sujan
Day-1
We were to continue on the NH8 till Gomti choraha, from where we took a right towards Desuri. As soon as we left NH8 we were greeted with more beautiful and empty country roads. I have been on these roads earlier, but at this time of the year they had an incognito charm to them.
Day-2
We started early morning for Jawai Dam, which was around 30kms. from Falna. Jawai Dam is one of the biggest dams of western Rajasthan and was built by Maharaja Ummaid Singh Ji o f Jodhpur.

Day-3
Next day morning we got up lazily as we had a late start. Got down from the hotel and gulped down 2 cups of wonderful chai to wake up the senses. And then, ASR and I proceeded to have first round of breakfast. We are kind- hearted people; we wanted to check the quality and the taste so that we could guide the rest as to what to eat and where to eat. We dug in diligently at all the available items, Kachori, Khaman Dhokla, Samosa, Jalebi, to name a few. By the time we finished, Bhuwansa also joined in and to accompany him we had a few more helpings of Khaman and Kachoris. This was followed by a couple of rounds of tea.
By the time we finished it was already 8:30, so we rushed back up and got ready to leave. Once we were ready it was time for another round f breakfast..yes one more round. This time it was grand and we had our stomachs full. After a heavy breakfast, it was time to leave Nathdwara and head to Lake Jaisamand, largest manmade lake in Asia. We were to continue on NH 8, bypass Udaipur on the way and ride for 40 Kms further to reach Lake Jaisamand. All the heavy breakfast was taking its toll and we were going slowly. To ride in and out of any city takes a lot of energy, this proved true in the case of Udaipur also. The Udaipur bypass was infested with slow moving trucks, broken roads and numerous diversions. We somehow managed to get past all this and to our surprise; a beautiful piece f twisted tarmac was waiting to greet us. The road was smooth, empty and cut through a thick green forest. It reminded me so much of Kerala. I had been on this road too earlier, but riding through it was a different experience altogether. The weather was hot and humid, making it very difficult to ride. We had to take frequent breaks to get hydrated. The day being a holiday, the lake was filled with local people. We spent about an hour at the lake and headed back to Udaipur.
