Dear All,

This is Palash Bhattacharyya working as IT Specialist at HCL Technologies.
Riding bike and Photography is my life as well as my passion.

Just made a successfull solo trip from (Chennai to Bangalore) then (Bangalore to Nandi Hills) and then (Bangalore to Chennai) total (910kms)
It was amazing trip as well as wonderful experience.


Briefing About the trip :-

It was a Saturday morning 22nd August 1:00 AM, just returned from the Office. I was thinking of going out somewhere, may be a kind of early morning ride.


Suddenly, a thought just strike into my mind to go for a long ride.
So i have decided to go to Banagalore, though it was very quick decision, but still i have decided to go.


Few things which is very important i believe when you go a for a long ride.


-Make sure you take a good nap, before you start your journey.
-Check the road in GPS and choose the better road to travel.
-Check the Oil Lubricants status of you bike Chain, if incase it is dry, please spray it.
-Check the Engine Oil Quantity, make sure it should be filled.
-Make sure you wear a Jacket, Helmet and Gloves while riding.
-Maintain the speed always under 75-80 Km/hr
-Do not ever try over speed, even after if you see the road is clear.
-Please give a 10-15 mins of break in every 80km.


Though it was my first time long ride, but i feel these things will keep u awake and active from the sleep while you will be riding.
When you will do more that 600 kms, it will be for sure 12-14 hours journey, so sleep well before you start.


So i got all the suggestions from the professional riders, and followed religiously. So that is were i have completed the entire trip without having any issues.


Roads were awesome to ride. SO i started exactly from chennai at 3:30 AM and reached Bangalore by 10 AM (crossed approx 367km).


Entire day i was roaming the city to explore more and try to know the place. Took a very good rest for 6 hours.


Very next day, i started again by 3:30 AM from Bangalore to Nandi Hills, which was about 70KMs. After that came to my friends place at afternoon.
Same again went out with friends and started to roam around the city, though it was a huge traffic at bangalore, still i have enjoyed the evening because the climate was awesome.


Again went back to friends room, took rest for 6 hours, and started again from Bangalore at 3:00 AM and reached chennai by 11:00 AM.




I Might be wrong in many areas, but your suggestions will be always helpful to grow better. Thank you for reading this.
