          Nice start and nice pictures. Bring the rest of the log.

          Almost every parent thinks the same. My parents also did think Bike ride is risky and unsafe but now their view is changed on bike riding. May be Love and Affection make them think like that instantly, i believe.

          Later they understand the "what's race" and "what's ride(safe)". Hope same would be for the most of the riders.

                      As per our plan we reach our first destination Vikram Vinayak Temple at 10am. Took darshan of shrine one by one because camera-mobile, luggage is not allowed in temple and there are not any lockers facility. We took Darshan of shrine, very beautiful Temple and also very huge & beautiful idol of lord Ganesh. Temple premises are very neat and clean, very pleasant place, worth to visit. After that we took some refreshment, fix our honk nearby and forwarded to kashid beach about 16km.

                      Reach there in half an hour. Park our motorcycle and went to beach side shack. Took some light snacks, missal paav etc. and relax there for some time while enjoying the beach view, roam around the beach. Little rush is there, many peoples are playing in water but water seems muddy & polluted so we are not in mood to entered in water After relaxing one and half hour there we decided to move for our next destination Murud-Janjira fort it is approximate 30km away.

                          Roads are nice sea facing & hilly. We Reach Rajapuri jetty and went to ferry wharf to took ferry to the fort. We saw all the ferry boats are too small and owner is trying to get more and more people inside the boat. We also sat one of the boat and Boat are shaking badly I am little scare on that time, there are no backup setup in ferry if something misshape. We reach Janjira fort. Our ferry owner offer us guide at nominal price so we roam fort with guide. We saw there some biggest canons & some ruins of fort

                          Very hot climate, stream of sweat were falling from our body. We are felling very thirsty we took some refreshment and thinking about our plan. As per plan we want to reach up to Mahad for Night stay which is approx 90km away because we decided that "no night Riding" so we start from there.

                              After cross Poladpur the ghat section was started and mighty Kashedi was ahead I am curious to ride on and test my riding ability. Turns are sharp & for me its bit difficult to took turn in speed but I will manage to ride ghat section in moderate speed and gain some nice experience. From ghat, view was awesome but we didn’t stop in frequently because I want to complete ghat at full pelt. We took only one break in Kashedi in near hair pin bend took some photographs spend 10min and forwarded….

                              In between we cross couple of small ghat. After cross Parshuram ghat we stop for breakfast took kande pohe and leave for Ganpatipule. Also feed unicorn tummy near Sangameshwar. We took Ukshi road for Ganpatipule which was very dangerous-hilly and also step hairpin bends I do not ride that type road before even kashedi ghat road is less dangerous in front of them after crossing some more kilometers there are one police check post. They called us for checking some chat with constable they record our motorcycle details and left us.
