  • A short escape for a weekend.

    Hi Fellow readers,
    (a brief introduction)
    First of all I would like to thank Xbhp for serving a forum giving an opportunity to bikers of all genre to share their story, their know how, their ways.

    I write this travelogue to share my experience about the recent weekend trip I took to a small village named Dubia on the outskirts of a small district name Chittranajan.

    Hailing from Kolkata, it had been a really long time that I took a break from the humdrum of daily schedule.
    The day of ride-11-may-2015.
    I had lesser than the usual time to prepare for the trip, though I cross checked tyres, rims, Carb, airfilter, Chain slackness, headlights Battery, Horn, Indicators.
    Many thanks to [MENTION=48477]akshatajeya[/MENTION] for coming down on the day his exams and lending me his toolkit, Wd40, powerbank and everything else that deemed necessary.













    7.00am 11may-15
    Started off a little late from 7 am in the morning and continued on the cold asphalt of NH2
    where mother Nature took me upon its lap and bore a cloudy weather which aided folds to my riding comfort.

    By 8.45 am in the morning I reached my first riding pitstop. Sat Deul temple.
    A temple which is atleast a millennium old.
    A hidden monument from the outside interference.
    Within a 100 kms reach from our own city Kolkata, only a handful knew about the significance of this place.











    Route itinerary- This spot secludes itself from the main highway NH2 and one has to pass a village to reach the spot. It is located in a small village called Masagram,16 kms from Burdwan and approximately 80 kms from Kolkata.


    I halted here for a brief interval and then proceeded towards Maithan Water Reservoir, my second pit stop.
    (In my previous travelogue I had mentioned about this place so will brief my recounts about this place though will share one
    picture that i captured
    )







    A coke and a packet of chips was my late brunch in this serene, green which held a significant placein my memory.
    this place si round about 232 ms from Kolkata, afew kms after Asansol on NH2.


    I will share the rest of the travelogue once it gets approved

        Hi Monk,
        Thank you for approving the travelogue.
        I was trying to decrease the span of view sight, so inserted the text in a table format with 700 as the width.
        It was a small experiment though the photographs took a beating I guess :P .
        another example of the same format I first used was here


        for inserting image I used tinypic.url directly from the insert image option. I guess that is why the pictures came out very small.
